Watching the World Go By

By

Ann M. Clinton
Regal white cruise ships glide by
Where are they going
I wonder with a sigh
Cargo ships, ferries and tankers
Pass my windows too
Ships sliding through the Narrows
Adding to my view
From my windows I can also see
Matchbox sized cars
– At least they seem so to me –
Moving along the Belt Parkway
Sometimes travelling slowly
At other times quite briskly

The full moon is a sight to behold
First pale yellow then shining gold
It starts low in the sky
Rising steadily over Brooklyn
As the river traffic goes by
A Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin moon
Which will be visible to all soon
