This week let’s write a crescent moon poem. The moon was new on Saturday so, if you have reasonably clear skies at sunset, you should be able to see the crescent thin moon in the western twilight. Let’s get inspired and post a poem in the comments below.

Living Poetry 
If
If I jumped out the window,
followed the moon,
sailed her crescent
across the sea,
what would happen
to the tea, the books,
the rain, the wind
I left
behind?
