That naughty man in the moon...


Poem Artwork



The Man In The Moon is naughty tonight,
it's littering its silvery debris all over the ocean,
choking the lives of those little fish.

I ask The Man In The Moon:
"Why are you throwing garbage at us?
I have to dodge them... here and there and everywhere."

He says he has been living on the moon for too long,
and the garbage keeps accumulating when the
Goddess Moon keeps chopping the Tree of Eternal Life.

"Speak poetry!" I roar!
"You are supposed to inspire love and harmony."
But the Man In The Moon does not hear me.

And the ocean is, still sadly,
littered with his daily silvery debris
which the little fish are being forced to consume.

So sad!

A strong reflection of this world. I think even with the silver streaks of reflections over the ocean, we know there has been a lot of garbage thrown into it, and The Man In The Moon knows all about it. Hehehe!!!!! 😁

Great job with the poem! This is a real problem of the world that we are facing when everyone keep littering the beaches and the ocean with garbage. Fishes that swallow the garbage are being choked to death and in some the fish have become poisonous to the consumers.

Very clever of you too to let the moon highlight the ocean which although the ocean is good to look at, but in reality it is filled with garbage.

Well done, Sandie. An interesting take on the "Man in the Moon." I always think of the moon as a female entity personally. I enjoyed your poem. Love and best wishes,

THE GODDESS ON THE MOON IS WASTING HER TIME, FOR THE TREE OF ETERNAL LIFE WILL 'NEVER' CEASE TO GROW. SO, LITTLE DOES THE HARD WORKING GODDESS REALIZE THAT HER WAYWARD TACTICS ARE BEING USED TO PROVIDE 'GOOD DEBRIS'(FOOD)THAT FALLS INTO THE SEA AND IS CONSUMED BY THE 'FISH', WHICH THE 'FISHERMAN' EVENTUALLY COLLECTS. SILVERY DEBRIS IS GOOD DEBRIS! FOR, 'ALL' THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE 'OWNER' OF THE TREES...NO? WONDERFUL WORK, SANDIE, THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

So, it's the naughty man in the moon who is responsible for all the garbage in the ocean. I had a feeling mankind will find a fall guy for its pollution. This one is as good as any other.

I don't think the man in the moon is to blame. All the hungry souls on this planet, grasping at the latest straw to consume. They are seeking convenience under the new moon. For what is left, like the ocean, there is no more room.

I liked this, Sandie! Everyone is painting such a nice picture of The Man In The Moon and how the ocean reflects its brightness, but you've come up with this poem to blow my mind away with this flip side of the man in the moon! Hah!!!

I wonder if that silvery debris isn't grated mozzarella as I've heard the moon is made of cheese! Sandie! This story is unique and lets us see the moon from a different perspective! 'Love it!
