Poem: Wonder

Wonder

One evening, while watching
fireflies burst into moments
of light, I longed to join them.

My bare feet brushed across
cool summer grasses while
I twirled into the night.

I leaped from star to star
tiptoeing through constellations
before gliding to the surface of the moon
where my toes wiggled into moon dust.

I settled in and waited for the Earth to rise.

You can also find all the poems that were posted here.

This is the last poem for the month, and this is the final call to share your work. Whether it’s something that you wrote as soon as you finished reading this post, or it’s a poem you’ve posted or had published, place the whole poem in the comments or put a link to it. A brief description before the link will help me process comments faster, so I know they’re not spam.

Also, feel free to share links to poems or spoken word performances by other poets. I hope this month brought a wide variety of poetry to everyone’s attention.
