Cosmic Fun

Meet me in the gloaming
Said Moon to Sun
I think you’re hot!

Why not pick one of us
Asked Stars of Moon
You’re all alike
Too flirtatious
Said Moon

It’s not that I’m ignoring you
Said Moon to Sun
We’re just in different time zones

I asked Rain
Where’s Sun
Washing up
Come back later
Said Rain

Stay away from Comet
Said older star to younger one
He has a reputation
For being fast

Where is Icarus, asked Sun
Melting with love for you
Said Moon

Black holes gape with yearning
Watching Venus
Rise from the sea

I’d like to introduce Diana to Saggitarius
She’s been mooning about and
Needs a different kind of bow…I mean beau.

Sun, said Mother Earth
Medusa is not a nice girl
Just look at her
She’ll turn your heart to stone

Everyone up here has a lover but me
Complained Angel
Try a little makeup
And fold those damn wings
Said Cloud

If you cosmic folk don’t quiet down
I’m gonna blow you away
Said Wind

Who is she?
Asked Moon of Cloud
O, just a poet
Said Cloud

She’s ruining our reputations
Said Moon
Block her!

  15. This was clever and fun Jackie. I enjoyed your personifications. They had a bit of a “senryu” feel. Even though they weren’t in a form, they were spare, energetic and inventive. Hope you have a really happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for coming by my place. Much appreciated.
