The Moon-Monster

by Sunday Essien aged 15

The moon
appeared like a big
man’s head,
with glittering white
teeth,
peeping out
of the unblinking blue
sky, smiling
heartily at the village
children;
this big human’s head
of the moon
shooted out from the limitless
ocean in the sky,
with a thousand
wrinkles
on its ghostly brow,
and the children scared
to death,
ran inside the house,
screaming, begging their mothers
to protect them from
the possible
attack of the
moon-monster!
