Follow The Moon

I followed the moon,
Or did it follow me?
I turned a corner;
It was still there, you see.

I tried to trick it.
In the shadows I hid,
But the moon kept on watching.
That's what it did.

A cloud passed before it.
Now was my chance,
But the stars in the sky
Never could lie.

I walked on through the night.
The moon followed me home,
Or did I follow the moon?
I don't quite know.

I think the poet in childhood experienced the same thing which he narrated so very beautifully in the poem. It just strongly reminded me of my childhood and how pleasant it is to remember those innocent bubbling days. Truly this poem touched my heart. Salutes to the poet. Hats offff!!!

I teach second graders about the moon and its phases in our international school. We also study poetry. I think this idea will appeal to young poetry writers who are challenged to come up with poems that relate to their study of the moon. It adds a cheerful spin on the moon in between all of the serious waxings and wanings of the moon that seven year olds are trying to comprehend. Thank you very much. I will enjoy reading this to my students.
