About Me

My photo
I was born Feb. 25, 1959, one hundred years to the month of my grandpa Coyle's grandpa Coyle. My poem, Grandpa's Corncob Pipe was meant to tell about Grandpa's history first, but somehow it came out telling of Grandma Coyle's history. One day I'll get Grandpa's in there, as well as my maternal grandparents. I must say, my profile picture looks like my grandma Preston! My husband Tim and I have five grown kids and four wonderful grandchildren whom we adore. There's truly nothing like being a grandparent. For this blog, I intend to post columns, feature stories or poems. When my kids were younger they wrote some outstanding poetry, which I also will post when I find them. LOL I hope you enjoy reading and thanks for checking out my blog.

The Man in the Moon is Smiling Tonight

I've only written three poems up until now.  I think they are a bit elementary, but decided to post them.  Here's the second of the three:

The Man in the Moon is Smiling Tonight

The man in the moon is smiling tonight
As he looks down from his great height,
While I walk with my dog on this beauteous night,
I see the man in the moon is smiling tonight.

His lips are parted, cheeks dimpled with grin
Small, pointed nose, a preposterous chin.
The stars that abound twinkle with delight
Because the man in the moon is smiling tonight.

Does he know something that I don't?
Are good things coming to our planet, home?

I only know what I have seen.
Something about him seemed to gleam,
As he hung there dangling, like on a string.

The man in the moon is smiling tonight.
