Summer Sun
Sun glinting off cresting waves, warm wet sand oozing between my toes.
Ahhhha!

An embarrassed half-moon realizes
his loss of face is only temporary.

Ed, so good to see your name show up. And it’s nice to know that the moon’s okay with life and its changes. Or something like that…
Edward, thanks for a smile with your half moon poem.
I enjoyed the sensation of sea and sand in Don’s poem, and the half-moon of Ed brought a smile.
