The Moon smiling
Cheshire cat grin,
dimpled star chin
twinkles below.
Alice questions
to stay or go;
the Moon may show
her mysteries.
Victoria Crawford is a poet from Monterey, California, currently living in Thailand where nature explodes in the serious season of rain and sun called the monsoon. Holy days are governed by the fullness of the moon not the sun calendar.
