Sat on a bench
taking in the last of the sun’s daily allocation of rays
in that moment of time tween day and night
looking out for luna popping out from behind the marshmallows
lighting up the sky as ra dips below the horizon
Sole observer watching by the shore, as
hopping and skipping towards the beach
in a race to get to him
many of Neptune’s and Ra’s children
move hop skip and jump creating colourful patterns
each one hoping they’ll get there first
racing bring smiles to all who see it
Greeting me beyond the curtains
long bright line of sky
of course, the sun isn’t full in the sky yet
when it is look forward to seeing the blue
Salford 23rd June 2020
Lighting up the darkness
as the Sun dips below the horizon
night-time seems an awful lot friendlier with
them , as they brighten the dark gloom
enlightening any stroll in the
rolling dark blue shades of
night-time, until Luna pops up behind a cloud
Salford, Monday 4th May
It’s early morning, as i rise
and the street is busy to my surprise
for waking up the chorus (Dawn)
a pussy cat, a little forlorn
He’d spent his time, with his pals last night
playing around under the street lights
but now Ra is up, it has to be said
this furry old cat wants in for his bed
His stomach is full, thanks to a friend on the street
corned beef from a can – a most tasty treat
but his thoughts turned to breakfast, as on street he did play
so off to the garden , he began to make way
And up is his owner, so he’s through the back door
and slowly he goes off to his bed on the floor
so while humans are out, with meetings they keep
our furry old pussycat, is in bed, sound asleep

No computer required
as up on my window ledge
there are feathered friends residing
until their chicks are fully fledged they’ll be
residing there chirping from morning till night – I
expect to be up early when the sun pops up

They’re quite a team – the Sun and the Moon
On the whole they’re quite phenomenal
Giving the people that live on Mother earth, summat to look at
Each day they work either side of this blue jewel
The Sun giving light to one half while the Moon shines on the other
Helping fishermen land their catches, and Night workers to find their way home
Earth helping both by turning around
Rotating to catch the light

A poem on the sun going down by inky – its been published by Forward Poetry, appeared on Luna’s blog at Lunatheblog.com and now its back home – enjoy the read………
The pebbles on the shore
were picked up and stacked
for skimming on the sea
Stacked with care
Precariously balanced
The wind made them wobble
The sun watched as
it created shadowy silhouettes
around the sandy shore
Till the tide began to turn
and the stack on the shore
alerted the little ones
The pebbles on the shore
told the children playing on the sand
it was time to go for dinner

Darkness disappeared from view
As the moon and sun changed places
Yawning – Luna told Ra she’d see him at noon
But now, she was off to bed
Ra smiled, as he peeked above the horizon
Everyone seeing his glow raised a smile
Apart from those who had been running under his sisters light – now
Kipping in their beds in the nearby trees

Cloudy skies today ? hardly
light from the sun falls down like raindrops
even the sky is a wonderful shade of blue
a warm and bright day
ready for a picnic ? we’re headed for the park
