As I sat on the shore
I could not wish for more
The moon shone down on the sea
It was sparkling just for me
The waves thrashed
Against the rocks they crashed
And then they just swayed
While I played and played
I gazed at the stars
Maybe I even saw Mars
The moon was full
And was as white as cotton wool
Constellations littered the sky
Until morning was nigh
I wish I could go up there one day
And look down at the rocky bay
COMPETITION WINNER
I saw the moon
in the sky today.
Up, up, up;
so far away.
Luna – beautiful,
shining bright.
Mystical moon
rules the night.

“The ocean is too calm and steady”
Said the moon, with a frown
Then it smiled and grinned and laughed
And made the waves go up and down
Another night, it looked upon the weary travelers
And asked the Sun, its eyes wide, tone polite
“Can I please borrow your rays?”
The travelers had light that night

Yo listen up
I’m not a block of cheese
Oh please
Give me a break
I need it for God’s sake.
If you say I’m only seen in the night
You’re not right
I’m sometimes seen in the morning
While you’re yawning
They say I’m white
Well alright
But I’m grey
OKAY!
Since my birth
My job is to orbit the Earth
The person who jumped on me
His name is Neil Armstrong
It ain’t wrong
I wish I was the sun’s dad
He’s toooo hot, that’s bad
I am the moon
Let’s go, kaboom!
Runner Up. Well done!
A navy blue plasters the skies,
Dotted with diamond-like stars,
Adorning the wondrous beauty before my eyes,
Floats a luminous moon, above the cars.
Moon, oh moon!
Why art thou so bright?
Why replace the blazing sun,
While it sleeps through the night?
Shine for the people!
Shine for the sea!
You’re an inexpensive night light,
So shine for me!
Runner-Up. Well done.
An astronaut I want to be,
And this was my case,
To travel to the moon and back,
All of that in space,
But our moon isn’t the only moon out there,
There are Jupiter’s moons and others to see,
All sixty seven known moons,
But something in my head bothers me.
Why didn’t our moon crash into the Earth?
Why didn’t our moon float away?
Why is our moon a moon?
Why do I see our moon every month, from June to May?
There’s an answer to those questions,
To scientists and you,
Find the answers please,
I’ll be like the moon giving something to you!
When I look up the sky
Only when it’s night
I see a glowing, silver ball
Which seems to give us light
But every day, it’s never the same
Sometimes full, sometimes half
Not even there sometimes
As if leaving the stars on his behalf
It follows me, wherever I go
Yet I feel, it means no harm
It feels so close and yet so far
It’s just like a magical charm
I love the ball, with its silver streaks
Shining in the night sky
Some might call it the moon
And it seems to be saying “goodbye”
Amidst the dark and dotted sky,
There is a ball, with greyish scars
And as the nights go passing by,
It disappears into the dark
Then, more nights passed, and it comes out
As if it were a game of hide and seek
And with glee, it shouts
“I won! I’m on a streak!
When Buzz and Neil landed on the moon,
There weren’t wheels or any space-eels,
Just craters and the probes they brought,
They stared out at the grey landscape,
And thought,
Where are the aliens?
