The Moon

surrounded by stars

the Moon shines brightly like the sun

the Moon is a light bulb

for when it is dark

it reflects in water

and casts many shadows

only when the sun comes out

The Moon is out of sight

*In class, we learned about likenesses in poetry.  Likenesses show up in poetry when you use similes, metaphors and personification.  In my poem, I used a simile and a metaphor.  I wrote the “Moon is a lightbulb” for a metaphor and the “Moon shines brightly like the sun” for a simile.  I chose to write about the moon because right away I thought of a few likenesses I could use.
