A superb write. It is not only beautiful but also very informative. How skillfully you have woven information into the fabric of poetry. If we are given information in such a lovely poetic style, who wouldn't learn. Moon has always been a fascination n mystery for man, your write makes me want to probe further into its mystery. You are right that regardless of its origin we should relish its beauty. A perfect 10.

Beauty of moon is what we enjoy. Tides make the life move. Mythology in all its variations may say moon is a lady or moon is a man, it matters little. Beautiful poem with scientific interpretation.

The moon has been fascinating the human mind from eons. In this beautiful poem you have listed the various theories propounded by the ingenious human mind regarding her origin besides dwelling upon the influence that it exerts on the earth and its earthly denizens. So that we have the tides The seasons that rain and flower Beautiful falls when maples blush And make Earth a friendly habitat A paradise in unfriendly wilderness Superb....!

Sir, Moon has always been an inspiration for all including poets. Whether Indian or otherwise. Kalidasa wrote: Noonam Unnamati Yajwanam pati Sarvarasya tamaso nishidhhaye Pundareekamukhi, poorva dingmukham Kaitakairiva rajobhiraavitam- in Kumarasambhavam. Lord Siva tells Uma: Sure, moon is rising. The Eastern horizon starts brightening up, as if covered with the pollen of ketaka flowers. It matters little whether moon is the biological daughter of Mother Earth or adopted. We know, she is our Bhagini (sister) . It is all the interesting that the new discussions portray her skull empty. No surprise. Malayalees' pride Vakom Muhammed Basheer has clearly answered this intrigue long back. Women have nothing in their skull, but Moonlight! (May my women friends and readers forgive me) . Thank you Sir, for sharing this beautiful poem.100+

Dear Sri Unnikrisnan, i am one of your friends.Do you think I have nothing in my skull? Do you endorse the views of Malayalee Poet M Vakom Muhammed Basheer's view on this point?

Hi Bharati, You should read the novelet Premalekhanam (Love Letter) by Vaikom Mohammed Basheer, in which the referred dialogue comes. The hero Kesavan Nair (Hindu) tells his lover Saramma (Christian) his opinion about women. However, moving on, Basheer proves without doubt that women (represented by Saramma, who had no occasion to complete her schooling) are more intelligent and capable than men (represented by Kesavan Nair, a bank employee) . The fantastic narrative is actually captivating. There are English translations- let me find out. But translating Basheer is near to impossible. I often quote him because he so excellent a writer. My comment above was for Rajen Sir, who could understand the sarcasm in the comment by Basheer. It is a fact that Basheer himself never considered women inferior to men. He held them in very high esteem. And I do endorse the view of Basheer.
