Moon and Poetry - Inseparable Duo

 Moon and Poetry - Inseparable Duo  

“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint 
of light on broken glass.” ― Anton Chekhov

Photos and Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor


Bangkok, Thailand 2010

Eureka!  Eureka! The long lost Holy Grail!
     The moon sitting on a fountain; 
Whence it came - from above or from within
     Our little heart couldn't contain.     

Bangkok Thailand 2010

When all the leaves are gone, the tree bare,
     the moon peeping through the still air,  
dare to stare and talk of love's travail,
     of life in its glory or darkest hour.  


San Vicente, Ilocos Sur 2019

It looms over our heads like a halo,
   crown in full, hat in its quarter;  
honor it bestows to the keen fellow,
   save he in deep slumber. ~
