The Poet's Moon Michele L Hinton

The Poet's Moon, titled after one of the poems, is a collection of my poetry and short stories. The works are separated into sections from Though Provoking, Humorous, and Oddities. Here is a sample from the back cover. My Moon God gave me a moon to sit upon, To write about stars in the sky. And as I was creating a poem, A little gold fairy came by. She said, "This is a glorious night, dear, With wondrous sights to see. And I'll happily take you to see them, If you write a poem about me." So I wrote about her gossamer wings, Of blue and red and green. I wrote about her silky blonde hair, And her dress that befit a queen. She then sprinkled me with star dust, And took me by the hand. We flew across the Milky Way, And what I saw was just grand. There were shooting stars lighting up the sky, And new stars that were forming. I even got to see Haley's Comet, And I'm telling you it was heart-warming. After flitting about the magnificent cosmos, I was returned to my little moon. I sincerely thanked the little gold fairy, And hoped I'd see her again soon. I picked up my pen to write a poem, About the illustrious creation's of God. After all I'd seen I looked at my words, And my insignificant poem seemed flawed.
