Monday's Poem: Friendship

Friendship

A piece of yellow cornbread

arrived at five for tea,

in a hat of buttered honey

looking silly as could be.

My friend and I both giggled,

but politely said, "Sit down."

"I'd rather not be eaten,"

whispered Cornbread with a frown.

We really were quite hungry,

but we'd made a brand new friend.

We nibbled air, and swallowed dreams,

and had the best pretend.

Monday's Poem: Half Moon and Half Moon

Half Moon and Half Moon

When I was walking up the path,

I looked up in the sky.

Half the moon was sitting there

Like half an eaten pie.

Where did half moon's half self go?

It's someplace I can't see.

Is it dark?  Is it cold?

Does it get scared--

LIKE ME?

I wonder if the stars reach down

To sprinkle it with light.

I hope they do and they are friends,

So dark moon feels all right.
