The Marshmallow Moon

By Morgan Danna
Richmond Middle School, Grade 7

The Marshmallow Moon
Is my gift to the sky
My dreams
Glitter and shimmer
Like stars
Outside the night ice shines,
Bright winter fluff
Gleams
Like angel's wings
Shedding a soft glow
Over each perfectly shaped flake
as it falls from the darkness,
From the Marshmallow Moon
And the glittering stars
From the icicles
As they reflect the glow
Sending it back up into the air
Lighting the stars,
Guiding the constellations
Which in turn guide the Marshmallow Moon
Sending it drifting
Along the Milky Way
Until it reaches me
and I reach up and set it aglow
My gift to the sky
My gift to the world
My gift to the Marshmallow Moon
