The Man On The Moon

As children we are told that the moon has a face on it,
With our childlike eyes we see a friend - the man on the
Moon. There he sits in the sky looking down on us,
With his friendly smile, loved by children everywhere.

There is a misconception that there really is an actual man
Up there, but there are others who say that he is made of
Green cheese, but we also find this hard to swallow. Yes, the
Moon is said to make people go mad by looking

At it too long, and lovers would not be romantic without
It. Even the witches are supposed to fly accross the
Face of the moon flying on their broomsticks during
Halloween. Yes, the moon has many sides to it: some

Good and some evil, but the prettiest sight is when
The moon is at it's fullest, showing that wonderful
Round face of the man on the moon smiling down at you.

Hi there Orientalkoru, The moon man looks more vivid some nights than others, it sounds like you saw him at his best the other night, congratulations, I see him a lot at night and occasionally in the day too, he is a calming sight to see, and lovers would be lost without it, thanks for your comments, I have around 58 poems including 5 parts of my serial poem "Legend Of The Black Dove" I post one at the 1st of each month, so watch out for it, all the best. John cheers
