DMC: "Man in the Moon" by Rosi Hollinbeck





MAN IN THE MOON

I’m Man in the Moon,
not some bad cartoon!
My crescent
is a shimmery pearlescent.

  7. Rosi, I like how this poem turned out. Also that it was such a short, concise poem.

    On another note, I just finished reading (and reviewing) Kwami Alexander's book. Awesome. I love it from start to finish. Can't say enough good things about it!
