New moon smiles in the west
Her majesty escorted by two giants
All around the world poets swoon
At twilight tonight and tomorrow, check out the western sky and you’ll see the crescent moon with two bright stars, which are the planets Jupiter and Saturn. Here’s wishing you Clear Skies!

Indeed! I was thinking about poetry tonight as I contemplated the moon on the way home. I told her she was looking slender and sexy, reclining lazily on an invisible celestial divan.
