Exceptional

I like the lyrical quality you've instilled here in this Poem.

Besides the cadence, there's something about it that just rings wholesome and true.

It's champion.

Keep well,
Polly

thanks, again, Polly. I am both honored and humbled by this exceptional rating. Lexi was just admiring the full moon last night but I was too tired to write about it. love, jan

I like this! Such a lighthearted feel to it. :-) I was wondering if the moon and I made that shrink appointment together could we get a discount? :-) Your rhyme is lovely and I liked how the moon is marching to the beat of his own drummer and shining when he wants and not when he's supposed to.

Great writing :-) We should all be like the morning moon!

Jan, another cute poem about the moon. Yes, maybe the
moon is a bit confused about when he's supposed to be
out. Isn't it interesting that Lexi keeps noticing
that.

Another cute one, Jan. Only one line I would tweak, to make it fit a little better:

to make a jump like that during day
(better: to make that jump during the day)

Too cute. Here's another morning moon. Lexi sounds a lot like . I get excited when I see a daytime moon too. Child at heart, I guess. Thanks again for sharing.
