In 2019 we are celebrating 50 years since the first moon landing. So this year, National Science Week has chosen the theme DESTINATION MOON. At Science Rhymes, I will be inviting submissions for poems about ALL THINGS MOON.
Goodnight
It’s bedtime on the sea-front
and all the waves did sigh.
The moon tucked in the sea-bed
and went to shine on high.
The clouds made up a blanket
to keep the waters warm.
And Neptune watched the oceans
to keep them all from harm.
When children have their bed-time
their mother’s like a moon.
With beaming smiles and lullabies –
a sleepy goodnight tune.
Their bedclothes do the same as clouds
as in their beds they lie.
And like the waves, they drift to sleep
departing with a sigh.
A beautiful poem Celia – a lovely lullaby.
