I Couldn’t See the Moon

Coffee House Writers / Ivor Steven

Mid-morning, and I could not see
The daytime moon
White, wispy clouds
Were shrouding my view

I must be going out of my mind.
I stood there thinking, ‘I’m going blind’
And I waited for Mother Nature to be kind

She rewarded my perseverance
With a cursory appearance
Of the Waning Crescent Moon-
The soupy sky’s tainted spoon
