a nice poem of the feelings felt from the beauty of moonlight? .......well written.
Beauty and sadness, something about the moon is something about life. Thank you for the commet Tom.
Poems over moon have a very long history in literature.In ancient hellenic literature the first poems on the matter were composed by Sappho[650-570 b.d.] whose poesie I am translating by the time into neohellenic and english.Here is one of them: Τhe stars too all around the beautiful moon suddenly hide their lucent figure whenever at total facade in its utmost it shines silvery over the earth.///a sadness in the sounds that stirred on moonlit nights when shadows made their rounds///these are beautiful verses. { the last stanza could be omitted.The poem would have nothing to loose}//The verses very robust, worth of translation.
Flattered to be thought of in even an oblique comparison to Sappho. I think you are right about the last verse.
