Moon Frog

The moon slid down the sky,
The froggy whispered, “Soon,
If only it comes close enough,
I’ll leap onto the moon.”

The moon slid lower still,
The froggy paused, then—hop!
His long legs launched him at the moon
And landed him on top.

The moon sailed smoothly on
Along its starry course,
With froggy proudly riding
Like a jockey on a horse.
— Richard Edwards

 

Winter Moon

How thin and sharp the moon is tonight!
How thin and sharp and ghostly white
Is the slim curved crook of the moon tonight!
— Langston Hughes

who knows if the moon’s

who knows if the moon’s
a balloon, coming out of a keen city
in the sky—filled with pretty people?
(and if you and I should
get into it, if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then,
we’d go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody’s ever visited, where
always
it’s Spring) and everyone’s
In love and flowers pick themselves
— E. E. Cummings
