Reflections on Yesteryears


Poem Artwork

Crack on the far side of the moon

Its crescent gently pointing

Towards the mysteries of Venus

Explorers working in pairs

Sensitive probes indicate treasure

But the bat cave has no vacancy

A sudden flash of light blinds

Accompanied by several taps

On the steamy windshield

Shining tin star revealed

Venus winks goodnight

The mission ends abruptly

Bat cave has no vacancy because it's filled with guano. I hear the FBI is investigating Michael Jackson impersonators doing the Moonwalk...I remember seeing Frankie Avalon sing Venus...

Love,
Sage
