Crescent-shaped
Shadows
Gracefully swayed
Above the ground
Underneath the trees
On an unexpected canvas
A slab of concrete-gray
And yet, a backdrop
Able to artfully display
This rare masterpiece-
Looking up at the sky
I was in awe of
The heavenly origin
But if my gaze had
Remained in the sky
My soul would have
Missed the beautiful
Transformation
Of the shadows below
Eyes witness
The moon
In darkness
Eclipsed by
The shadow
Of Earth
Feet stand
On the surface
Of the moon
Looking back
At their blue
Marble home
Children explore
Past in present
Imagining future
Moon flights
Of their own
Anything is possible!
Today’s prompt was interesting-write a poem using at least one word/concept/idea from each of two specialty dictionaries: Lempriere’s Classical Dictionary and the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction.
From the Classical Dictionary I chose the following fact: First eclipse of the moon on record 721 B.C.
From the second dictionary I chose the word moon flight.
