June 2023                                                                           June 2023

       The Moon and Venus

       It  had  been  one  of  those  beautiful
       days -
       The sky was blue, with a hint of haze.
       In  wonderment  I  had  to  stop  and
       gaze –
       The sunset was vivid, an orb ablaze.

       I saw the Moon and Venus, flirting in the sky;
       A cloud smiled coyly as she floated by.
       I’m sure a star winked, and caught my eye
       And a light, gentle breeze sang a lullaby.

       The sun rose on another golden dawn;
       The veil was lifted on a beautiful morn.
       The sky turned coral, a new day was born –
       I looked for the Moon and Venus, but they were gone.

       To make their presence known to all.

       They’d beckon you, if birds could
       talk,
       To dubbin your boots and go for a
       walk.
       At times like this, these birdies sing,
       For there is no season quite like
       Spring.                               Thanks to Paul for his other poem which he
                                             did  say  may  not  be  appropriate  for  the
