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
