Meanderings and the Moon

Spreading in my old garden.... .All light,
All ten thousand miles at once in its light!

 

oldpoetry.com/poetry/659
Full Moon by
Du Fu

Above the tower -- a lone, twice-sized moon.
On the cold river passing night-filled homes,
It scatters restless gold across the waves.
On mats, it shines richer than silken gauze.
Empty peaks, silence: among sparse stars,
Not yet flawed, it drifts. Pine and cinnamon
Spreading in my old garden.... .All light,
All ten thousand miles at once in its light!

    What a great collection! I thought Full Moon by Du Fu was brilliant, and enjoyed the rest that you've provided links to. Thanks for introducing me to some fab poems about one of my favorite objects, the Moon.

    It's an article about old poets' work most of whom are dead. Did you mean the Old Poetry Team?

    This is great! I will check all of these out! I love to write poetry of the moon, but, I've got a book titled 'World Poetry' and there are only maybe 5 poems that are moon themed! I'm off to read!
