Today's word is "caseous" ... KEY-see-uhs ... of or like cheese. (Dictionary.com)
Steady
Looking upward toward the moon,
It glows a trembling yellow,
Sometimes I am almost convinced,
Inside's a caseous fellow.
I see him watching, silently,
Eyes cratered in his face,
Following our movements here,
With eerie, lunar grace.
I might take him more seriously,
If his shape remained the same,
But he seems to change each day,
To wax and then to wane.
I like my friends dependable,
Optimistic, sad or cranky,
But I find this moonly man,
Each month to be most flakey.
