Holiday Moons
Christmas Moon
Not quite full, but bright,
December 23rd. Fuller tomorrow
and fully full on Christmas when,
the Weather Service promises,
we'll have clouds
and a high probability of rain.
New Year's Moon
A waning moon for New Year's Day-
Portent? Or just the way
Our orbital mechanics work-
Uncompensated, with never a holiday?

Moon madness, they say it's real. *
Oh how real are her powers! *
Thank you, Matt and Emily.
* especially for New Year's Moon.
Good duo, Gary. Made me think of Kerouac's poem "The Moon Her Majesty".
Thank you, Amanda and Sam.
Delightful, beautifully crafted poems!
Thank you, James.
The entire apparatus, never a holiday.*
Thank you, Gary.
