Broadside Contest Entrant #14: MICHELLE SMITH

How high is the moon?


A yellow white creamy ball 

A lapel worn 

on the suit of a global black sky.

How yummy is the moon?

Am I reminded of Swiss cheese

and want to take a bite

with Ritz crackers

and pepperoni--yay and yum!

How bright is the moon?

A circle that glows

its light shimmers romance

and dances diamond steps

on the high seas.

How Kraft is the moon?

A bagel spread 

with Philadelphia cream cheese

and a butter knife all around,

served with 

Bigelow's  "I Love Lemon"  hot tea

in a marigold Fiesta cup 

and saucer good.

How historical is the moon?

A high, yummy, bright, Kraft 

strong arm memory by Neil who says:

"That's one leap for man, and one step

for mankind."

  1. I like this poem. I can see the man in the moon eating himself out of house and home. This is krafted very visually like a Broadside.
