New Moon
A Poem by
Debbie Barry
A scrap of verse I wrote in the middle of the night, based on a news item I saw yesterday. A new nursery rhyme.
The Man in the
Moon
Wanted company;
Then he looked
up,
And a new moon
did see.
The big, round
moon
Has found a
friend:
A tiny thing,
From end to
end!

Wish I could jot things down when they came to me in the middle of the night. This is so sweet and I am still smiling from ear to ear.......N
