Moon, Have You Met My Mother?
by Karla Kuskin Illustrated by Sergio Ruzzier
Write about a radish
Too many people write about the moon.
Too many people write about the moon.
The night is black
The stars are small and high
The clock unwinds its ever-ticking tune
Hills gleam dimly
Distant nighthawks cry.
A radish rises in the waiting sky.
