Full Moon - Poem


Kids poem

A Cannon ball

A lost Balloon

A Peppermint

A pool of Lead

A mighty Lump

Of Porridge limp

A lamp, a polished

Dustbin Lid

The Hubcap from an auto route

The Helmet of

An Astronaut

A Mottled dish

Or Disc at dusk

will sink almost

In mist, or moistly Float

-William Beably Wright

 

The moon is described in a new way comparing it with different objects which we see in our daily life. The poet expresses how the moon’s shape looks.  He says the Moon looks like a round metal cannon ball which can be seen in olden times at war. 

Moon looks like a round balloon which is lost in the open space. It looks like a white round peppermint (not the polo peppermint with a hole in the centre) which the kids love to eat. The moon looks like a pool of soft metal-lead.

The round moon looks like a lump in the porridge- cereals with water or milk. It also looks like a round metal lid of an old fashioned bin which was kept in corners of the streets. The moon looks like a hubcap – the cover that protects the centre of the wheel in an auto. It also looks like a round helmet of an astronaut.

The moon looks like a round dish (Idly). 

It also looks like a CD, which floats in the damp evening sky.

Mira told her mom, “Thiyash is mean and selfish too. Why do we need to share him sweets made in our home, Ma” Mom replied “Today is new year. I want you to forget all the old arguments and start to be nice from today or you will get bad luck, remember!” Mira wore a beautiful blue lehenga which had golden lotus and pink flowers embroidered on it.   She wore pink chanbali earrings and was all ready to meet her neighbors. Mira’s mom handed her a plate with 3 laddus, 3 murkkus, 3 vada and a small bowl of kheer. Mira walked carrying this plate to her neighbors’ home. She knocked at the door. No one answered.
