For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
My good friend Lydia asked me to write a poem for her to use on her blog. The poem was to be about moonlight. Now that she has used it on her blog, I would like to share it here as well. I hope you will enjoy it.
Moonlight Delight
Moonlight truly shines so bright,
Wondrous scene, such a delight.
Under this moon all does shine,
E’en the flowers glow so fine.
Moonlight fills the meadow fast,
In the forest, shadows cast.
Moonlight sits atop the hill,
Spreading light while all is still.
Shining now upon the lake,
Wondrous sight for all awake.
Pearly white from yonder moon,
Mixed with call of distant loon.
That full moon, with beams so bright,
Gives to all a wondrous sight.
Light, so pure, from that large moon,
Sinking low, and gone so soon.

Good evening Simon! I hope you’re finally back home by now, relaxing a bit.🤨 It’s okay to relax now and then, really.🤪😜🙄 It’s just getting daylight here, cloudy and a bit milder today,😃 -15C, but it’s supposed to stay that way all day. At least I will be able to stand outside with bare hands and not freeze to death today.🥶😳📷 Maybe I can get some more bird pics. Thanks for stopping by today Simon! I hope you have a great evening and week!😁😸⛄🎄
