Firesprites Moon


from the ABC set Lacework

An Alder moon,
A colds end moon,
Buttercream smooth
Light piping the border
Of frost faded lawn.
This spring moon,
An awakening moon,
Drizzles Hedgehog tracks
Through dragee dew
Garden glistering.
A planting moon,
A re-birth moon,
Silver wraps
Old Cherry twist boughs
In party ribbon mood.
This birthday moon,
Your coming moon,
Beckons your day;
You crackerjack gift
Of a baby girl,
With all your whims
Of the moon.
