October Skies ©


Saturday, I saw in the sky a moon, a balloon, a jet.
The balloon, floated off to anyone's guess - Lansing?
The jet, too, climbed into the blue.
A predetermined destination; probably not Lansing.
The moon's vestige face - a reminder of more glowing times.

I was googling "October Skies" because we had some beautiful ones today. I smiled at this poem that included "Lansing". I smiled even more when I looked at their home page and realized they were referring to Lansing, New York.
