Good morning moon.
I see you’re up!
Have you been up all night?
Did you see sunbeams paint the sky
with gentle crimson light?
Did you hear magpies sing and cheer
as darkness fell away?
And did you pause
to marvel
at the beauty of the day?

Hi Kristin
I like this poem because it is short and sweet.

Thanks Nuwin!

Anyway have a Merry Christmas and keep writing these fantastic poems!!!!
Hi Clara,
Thank you! I had lovely Christmas with my family. I hope you had Merry Christmas too!
I am so pleased to hear that you keep reading my poems. Have you tried writing some poems over the holidays?
Kristin
Hi Kristin,
I really enjoyed this poem because it is weird
Hi Ava,
In what way is the poem weird?
Kristin
Hi Kristin,
I enjoyed your poem and I have never seen the moon in the morning ever before. I wish I could see that sight one day.
Chamith
Hi Chamith,
You should go outside and look in the sky in the morning. The moon is only visible in the morning certain times of the month, but it happens every single month.
Kristin
Hi Kristin
This poem paints and beautiful picture of a lovely moon shining through the night skies. I adore the amount of creativity, detail, and description you put in this poem! It just is amazing. How did you come up with the idea?
Tharusha
I saw the moon in the morning and said, ‘good morning moon’!
Hi Kristin
I think this poem is talking about me. I like the way the words are rhymed.
Hi Senehas,
I try to write each poem so that the readers think it is about them. I’m glad it worked.
Kristin
Hi Kristin
You make me want to be more creative with how I think about things.
A really creative poem.
Hi Mia,
It makes me so happy to read your comment. Do you write poems? I’d love to read one. You can post it in the comments.
Kristin
Hi Kristen
that poem reminded me of a time I saw the moon in the sky in the morning and a friend of mine said hi to the moon.It was funny.
Hi Thinara,
Your friend is like me! I said hi to the moon, and I thought it was funny too. That’s why I wrote the poem.
Kristin
I would like to say that to the moon too! That poem was good.
Thanks Sanuli!
Do you see the moon in the morning sometimes?
Kristin
Yes, I see the moon in the sky.
You make such normal, everyday things sound all of a sudden so interesting. Your poems are the best!
Thanks Lyana,
That’s such a lovely compliment. Do you write poems?
Kristin
Sometimes I feel like I could write a really good poem, but as soon as my pen touches the paper,
My mind goes blank. But that doesn’t stop me from trying!
If you didn’t try, you’d have no chance of writing a poem! I often write a few words or a line to start, then play around with it, or put it away and come back to it weeks or months later. Good poems take time to write.
Good poem. It is strange seeing the moon out during the day.
Hi Charli,
The moon is out during the day quite a bit (though not as often as it’s out at night). It’s just harder to see.
Kristin
The moon is sooooo pretty.
This poem made me a beautiful move of sky in the night. So much things happening in the night? Fell like staying up and see them.
Hi Dinethri,
You don’t have to stay up late to see all this, but get up early instead.
Kristin
Hi Kristin
I liked how you put creativity into such normal things and its like you are talking to the moon!

Tharusha
Hi Tharusha,
Thank you for your lovely comment. I thought of the moon when I saw it one morning, and I actually said, ‘good morning, moon’.
I love this poem. I enjoy looking at moon most nights because its amazing how the reflection of the sun is so bright.
Hi Thenumi,
I enjoy looking at the moon too.
Kristin
Hi,
This poem is just like how my brother and I watch the moon playing hide and seek with the stars. We stand on my bed and watch the moon disappear behind the clouds. I really like this exquisite short poem. It makes me feel relaxed.

Hi Thisama,
Thanks for your lovely comment. I’m glad my poem makes you feel relaxed.
Kristin
I love looking at the moon at night when it is shining bright. I also love listening to magpies sing in the morning. I also love this poem.
Hi Nae,
You have the beginnings of a poem there!
I love looking at the moon at night
when it is full and shining bright…
Kristin
Hi Kristin,
I love the moon we have a telescope to look at the moon. my nan and par gave it to us.
Cadence K
Hi Cadence,
I like the moon too. I don’t have a telescope though. Have you ever looked at the moon through your telescope in the morning?
Kristin
