Moon: A Poem by Meish Goldish

Are you lonely, Moon?
You giant white balloon!
You have no water, wind or air.
No wonder, nothing lives up their.
You can’t grow trees or flowers or grass.
Your soil is only rocks and glass.
Even your light is not your own.
Instead it’s from the sun that’s shone.
Your gravity is weak, I hear.
You really have no atmosphere.
But don’t be sad, Moon, please don’t cry.
For I still love you in the sky.

Your Turn

Draw and color a picture of the moon (your teacher will give you some paper). You can draw the moon the way it looks at night or during the day! Under the picture, carefully write the sentence “Sometimes I can see the moon during the day and sometimes I can see the moon at night.”
