Moon Walk—July 21, 1969
by Susan Blackaby
Neil Armstrong
landed the Eagle
in a tranquil sea.
Then he stepped out to:
Moon walk hop.
Moon walk tromp.
Moon plod, spring, jump,
stride, bounce, leap.
He left moon walk tracks
and moon walk traces—
the first footsteps across
the face of the Man in the Moon.
