The Phases of the Moon
The Phases of the Moon
Though the new moon has no glow,
the crescent moon I bestow
while the half moon hangs along
the gibbous moon guides me home.
When the full moon traverse sunset,
the lunar phases then beget
the Sun and Moon align with earth
and the new moon has rebirth.
When, the phases of the moon return to spoon,
through a more than half-lit gibbous moon
the half moon reappears
with crescent then new moon soon too cheer.
As it goes, the gibbous moon gets more light
than the crescent moon at midnight.
Though the new moon has no show,
the crescent moon I bestow
while the half moon hangs along
the gibbous moon has more glow.
When the full moon traverse sunset,
the lunar phases then beget
the Sun and Moon align with earth
the new moon then onset.
When, the phases of the moon return to spoon,
through a more than half-lit gibbous moon
now the half moon reappears
then crescent then new moon very soon.
As it goes, the gibbous moon gets more light
than the crescent moon at midnight.
My 16-year-old son wanted to hear it in aaba so I revised for him.
He likes it that way better. My 19-year old daughter likes it better in aabb.
Then he suggests putting both on the sight to see which one yall like.
