Poetry Friday: The Moon's the North Wind's Cooky


The Moon's the North Wind's cooky.
He bites it, day by day,
Until there's but a rim of scraps

That crumble all away.

The South Wind is a baker.
He kneads clouds in his den,
And bakes a crisp new moon that . . . greedy

North . . . Wind . . . eats . . . again!

-- Vachel Lindsay
