Me v The Moon
Nestled upon a pillow of cloud
The moon sat, big and fat
As I watched it from my garden
In a cul-de-sac
It didn't really do much
Just illuminate the sky
But, then I thought: that alone
Makes it a greater thing than I !
Nestled upon a pillow of cloud
The moon sat, big and fat

Makes it a greater thing than I !
Thanks for the comment & Like Shifa. Appreciated as always
So concise yet so effective! Your poem shines brighter than the moon itself. Amazing!
Thank you for the kind additional comments Julie & Keith, & thank you to everyone for all the Likes! ♥️
We are but miniscule.
Good poem
Keith
The moon had certainly been impressive this last few nights. Nice write.
Thank you Aviva for your wonderful words of wisdom
And
I'm over the moon
You say I'm greater than the moon
Alas, my dear wife says
I'm as much use
as a chocolate spoon! ?
You v The Moon
Illuminating the sky, judged alone,
may make the moon greater than you are.
And then there's the matter of size itself
Contrary to appearances
The moon is certain to be larger too.
But greatness must be measured
In multiple directions
Never just one or two.
So then I thought to put this thesis
To a proper test, devise some new measures
An art contest, perhaps.
And you must surely draw the moon better
than it could ever draw you.
I can think of many other challenges
That you could excel at,
Whilst the moon couldn't manage.
You are better at poetry too
And so, you are greater than the moon.

The final verse tells me a great deal about both the poem and its author - I like the cosmic nature of this piece. Thanks
