The Moon Hangs its Hat in Daytime
It dims its shine
at home in the sky
From a bold glow
A hint of hue
Reveals the pale dreamy cap
of an off-duty moon

Oh, I like this very much! And I find the notion of an off-duty moon particularly appealing.

The idea of the moon being “off-duty” is such an intriguing notion!

The moon works the nightshift!

Part of impatient me wanted to shout “SNAP TO IT” ~ then sensible me realized even the moon needs a break from time to time.

If the sun can have his hat on, the moon can surely have a cap to hang up when he wants to sleep. LOL What fun!

Who can resist “an off-duty moon”?

An off duty moon is just as lovely …. a very beautiful cap indeed it is
