A collection of poems and a bit of poetry - All with a moon theme.
From The Rime of the Acient Mariner The moving Moon went up the sky. And nowhere did abide; Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside- By Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) |
TO THE MOON Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth, Wandering companionless Among the stars that have a different birth, And ever changing, like a Joyless eye That finds no object worth its constancy? By Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) |
Hey diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed to see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon. -A nursery rhyme from the 1700's |
Is the moon tired? she looks so pale Within her misty veil: She scales the sky from east to west, And takes no rest. Before the coming of the night The moon shows papery white; Before the dawning of the day She fades away. From Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) |
DEFEATED BY LOVE The sky was lit by the splendor of the moon So powerful I fell to the ground Your love has made me sure I am ready to forsake this worldly life and surrender to the magnificence of your Being - Rumi -- Thanks Anna |
We'll Go No More A-Roving Though the night was made for loving And the day returns too soon Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon -Byron |
0 Lady Moon, your horns point toward the east; Shine, be increased: 0 Lady Moon, your horns point toward the west; Wane, be at rest. From Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti |
AT A LUNAR ECLIPSE Thy shadow, Earth, from Pole to Central Sea, Now steals along upon the Moon's meek shine In even monochrome and curving line Of imperturbable serenity. How shall I link such sun-cast symmetry With the torn troubled form I know as thine, That profile, placid as a brow divine, With continents of moil and misery? And can immense Mortality but throw So small a shade, and Heaven's high human scheme Be hemmed within the coasts yon arc implies? Is such the stellar gauge of earthly show, Nation at war with nation, brains that teem, Heroes, and women fairer than the skies? By Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) |
THE HALF MOON SHOWS A FACE OF PLAINTIVE SWEETNESS The half moon shows a face of plaintive sweetness Ready and poised to wax or wane; A fire of pale desire in incompleteness, Tending to pleasure or to pain:- Lo, while we gaze she rolleth on in fleetness To perfect loss or perfect gain. Half bitterness we know, we know half sweetness; This world is all on wax, on wane: When shall completeness round time's incompleteness, Fulfilling joy, fulfilling pain?- Lo, while we ask, life rolleth on in fleetness To finished loss or finished gain. By Christina Rossetti |
I see the moon, The moon sees me God bless the moon, And God bless me. -A nursery rhyme |
FULL MOON One night as Dick lay fast asleep, Into his drowsy eyes A great still light began to creep From out the silent skies. It was the lovely moon's, for when He raised his dreamy head, Her surge of silver filled the pane And streamed across his bed. So, for a while, each gazed at each- Dick and the solemn moon- Till, climbing slowly on her way, She vanished, and was gone. By Walter de la Mare |
Civile Conversation They make them believe, according to the Proverbe, that gloe wormes are lanterns, and that the moon is made of greene Cheese. -Stefano Guazzo, 1574 |
MOON'S ENDING Moon, worn thin to the width of a quill, In the dawn clouds flying, How good to go, light into light, and still Giving light, dying. By Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) |
NEW MOON The new moon, of no importance lingers behind as the yellow sun glares and is gone beyond the sea's edge; earth smokes blue; the new moon, in cool height above the blushes, brings a fresh fragrance of heaven to our senses. By D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) |
I saw the new moon late yestreen, Wi' the auld moon in her arm: And if ye gang to sea, maister, I fear we'll suffer harm. From the anonymous Scottish ballad Sir Patrick Spens |
Sleepyhead As I lay awake in the white moon light, I heard a faint singing in the wood, 'Out of bed, Sleepyhead, Put your white foot now, Here are we, Neath the tree Singing round the root now!' I looked out of window, in the white moon light, The trees were like snow in the wood-- 'Come away, Child, and play Light with the gnomies; In a mound, Green and round, That's where their home is. Honey sweet, Curds to eat, Cream and frumenty, Shells and beads, Poppy seeds, You shall have plenty.' But soon as I stooped in the dim moon light To put on my stocking and my shoes, The sweet sweet singing died sadly away, And the light of the morning peeped through: Then instead of the gnomies there came a red robin To sing of the buttercups and dew. - Walter de la Mare |
Silver Slowly, silently, now the moon Walks the night in her silver shoon; This way, and that, she peers, and sees Silver fruit upon silver trees; One by one the casements catch Her beams beneath the silvery thatch; Couched in his kennel, like a log, With paws of silver sleeps the dog; From their shadowy coat the white breasts peep Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep; A harvest mouse goes scampering by, With silver claws, and silver eye; And moveless fish in the water gleam, By silver reeds in a silver stream. - Walter de la Mare |
Winter Clouded with snow The cold winds blow, And shrill on leafless bough The robin with its burning breast Alone sings now. The rayless sun, Day's journey done, Sheds its last ebbing light On fields in leagues of beauty spread Unearthly white. Thick draws the dark, And spark by spark, The frost-fires kindle, and soon Over that sea of frozen foam Floats the white moon. - Walter de la Mare -- Thanks To Bob Parks For The Suggestion |

****လမ္းႏွစ္သြယ္****
by လကၤာ အရွင္ on Monday, May 21, 2012 at 12:58am ·
ပန္းတုိင္တူ လူႏွစ္ေယာက္
သူလဲကုိယ္ထူ
ေဖးကူၾကရင္း
မဟာၿမိဳင္အတြင္း
ခရီး အၿပင္းႏွင္ခဲ႔တယ္။
ပန္းတုိင္ဆီ ေလွ်ာက္တဲ႔လမ္း
ခရီးလည္း ၾကမ္း
ေရလည္းခမ္းေတာ႔
ပင္ပမ္းတာလည္း ရွိမွာေပါ႔ ၊
အခ်ိန္တုိ ခရီးေပါက္
ပန္းတုိင္အၿမန္ေရာက္ဖုိ႔
မနားတမ္း ဆက္ေလွ်ာက္
လမ္းခြဲတစ္ခု ေရာက္ခဲ႔ၿပီ။
လမ္းတစ္ခုမွာ
လူတကာ သြားၾက
ဖုန္တေထာင္းေထာင္းထလုိ႔
ေနာက္တစ္လမ္းက
ေလွ်ာက္လွမ္းသူပါး
ေပါင္းၿမက္မ်ားေတာင္ ထေနၿပီ။
ကဲ သူငယ္ခ်င္း
ဘယ္ကတစ္လမ္း ညာတစ္လမ္း
ဘယ္မွန္ရင္ ညာမွားမယ္
တုိ႔ဘယ္လမ္းကုိသြားမွာလဲ ?
လမ္းေပၚကခရီးသြား
“ဘယ္လားညာလား” ေမးၾကမယ္”ဆုိေတာ႔
လူတုိင္းမွန္းဆ
ရမ္း သြားၾကတာ
မ်ားရာသာေလွ်ာက္
'လမ္းဆုံးရင္ ရြာေရာက္လိမ္႔မယ္'..”တဲ႔
ဟာ….မဟုတ္တာကြာ
ေၿခတစ္လမ္း အနင္းမွားရင္
ေတာတြင္း က်ားစာၿဖစ္သြားမယ္
တုိ႔ပါတဲ႔ေၿမပုံခ်ၿပီး
အေၿဖမွန္ရွာၾကဦးစုိ႔ ။
ေဟာ…
ဒီမွာက လက္်ာလမ္း
ၿဖတ္ဖုိ႔ အလြန္ၾကမ္းလိမ္႔မယ္
လူ အသြားနည္းေပမယ္႔
သြားတဲ႔သူလည္းရွိပါရဲ႔’
ဒီမွာက လက္၀ဲလမ္း
လူတုိင္းေလွ်ာက္လွမ္းၾကေပမယ္႔
ေရာက္သံလည္း မၾကား
ေၿမပုံမွာလည္း ‘လမ္းမွား’.. တဲ႔
“မွားခ်င္လည္းမွား
သြားခ်င္ သြားမယ္
လူမ်ားရာလုိက္
ငါ႔အၾကိဳက္ပဲ”
အင္း...
ဒီလုိနဲ႔ ႏွစ္ဦးသား
သေဘာထားကြဲၿပီး
လမ္းကြဲမွာ
လမ္းခြဲ လုိက္ၾကၿပီ
ဒီေတာ႔
ဘယ္တစ္ေယာက္ ညာတစ္ေယာက္
ကုိယ္ယုံရာ ကုိယ္ေလွ်ာက္ၾကရုံေပါ႔၊
လမ္းကြဲအေရာက္
လမ္းလြဲေလွ်ာက္သူ
ေနာက္မွ တဖန္ပူရမယ္။
လမ္းကြဲအေရာက္
လမ္းပဲ ေလွ်ာက္သူ
လမ္းဆုံးေရာက္က ေအးခ်မ္းမယ္။
(ဒါ...)
သင္ေရြးရမယ္႔ လမ္းႏွစ္သြယ္။ ။

****ေလာက မာယာ****
by လကၤာ အရွင္ on Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 12:57pm ·
ေလာကမွာ
ေငြရွိသူက ေငြနဲ႔မွ်ားတယ္
ေရႊရွိသူက ေရႊနဲ႔မွ်ားတယ္
အခ်ိဳၾကိဳက္သူကုိ အခ်ိဳနဲ႔မွ်ားတယ္
အလုိၾကိဳက္သူကုိ အလုိနဲ႔မွွ်ားမယ္
အဲ
ဘာမွမရွိရင္ေတာင္
ဘာမွမရွိတာနဲ႔ မွ်ားတယ္
ဒါကုိ
"ေလာကမာယာ"လုိ႔ေခၚတယ္
တစ္ခ်ိဳ႔သူေတြက်
တရားခ်လည္း မရေတာ႔ဘူး
ဘုရားမလည္း မရေတာ႔ဘူး
ေထာင္ေခ်ာက္ထဲ သာယာယစ္မူး
ေလာကမာယာစူးသြားၿပီ။ ။
*** အမွားလက္ခ်ာ ***
by လကၤာ အရွင္ on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 11:45pm ·
မမွားခင္က
အမွားၿပင္ဖုိ႔ဆုိတာ
အမွားၿမင္မွၿဖစ္မွာကြ....တဲ႔
ဆရာေပးတဲ႔ အမွားလက္ခ်ာ
ခုထိစိတ္ထဲ စြဲေနတယ္ ...
မ်က္လုံးတစ္ခ်က္ဖြင္႔တာနဲ႔
အမွားေတြ တသီၾကီးၿမင္ရတယ္
သူမ်ားအမွား
ကုိယ္႔အမွား
ၿဖစ္လာတဲ႔ အမွား
ၿဖစ္လာမယ္႔ အမွား
အမွားေတြ ေတာင္ပုံရာပုံ
အမွားမ်ိဳးကုိ စုံလုိ႔
အုိ
ဆရာသခင္ေရ ...
"အမွားၿမင္ရင္ ပညာရွင္ၿဖစ္တယ္" ေနာက္မွာ...
"အမွားၿပင္ရင္ ပညာရွင္စစ္တယ္"လုိ႔ပါ
တဆိတ္ေလာက္ ထပ္ၿဖည္႔ေပးပါဦး
ခုေတာ႔..
အမွားၿမင္တာေတာင္
မွားသေယာင္ၿဖစ္ကာ
အမွားႏြံနစ္မွာ စုိးလုိ႔ပါ။ ။
