mr. moon is shooting blanks

by Shonda Creemer

the moon is pink tonight

no
not a baby pink
more of a Amaranth pink

it seems to have this
strange little smile

sitting directly atop my house
it sprinkles wishes
in the form of shooting stars

Star Light, Star Bright...

they seem to fade so fast
the wishes and the stars

why do i even bother?

i always end up

happily never after anyway

I really like the language and approach to the imagery. It's got a simple, but completely effective style going for it.

The "Mister Moon" in the subject line caught my attention. I'll never hear or read that little phrase again without hearing it in the voice of my two year old grandson. mittah mooooooon" I enjoyed the pink imagery. I've seen many harvest moons, but I don't think I've seen a pink one. Lucky you! Ditto to what Gabriel said. Really enjoyed this.
