Moon

Moon

A Poem by Dupur Mitra



Everywhere where i am going
moon is also with me

I want to play at hide-and-seek
but don't

where ever i go
seen that
moon is laughing to see me

Moon is always at my side
seeing me
caring me
talking with me

i can not hide me from moon

Moon is as my mother

Dupur,

I really like your poem. It's intrigue and simile are refreshing.

One thing we have to do is work on the translation. English is a difficult language. If you don't mind, I'd like to intrepret your poem according to what I feel it says.

Everywhere I go
Moon is with me.
I try to play hide and seek
but she won't let me.

Wherever I go
Moon is happy to see me.
I can tell because
she's laughing at me.

Moon is always at my side:
she watches me;
she cares for me;
and she communes with me.

I cannot hide from Moon
and I don't want to
because Moon conforts me.
Moon is just like my mother.

See how this compares with your original written in your native tongue.

This is not criticism; merely a suggestion on how to translate your poem into a very difficult language.

I like the 'hide and seek' relationship you have with Moon. And I never thought of the moon as laughing but now that you brought it to my attention, I can't wait to see if she is going to laugh with me tonight.

I appreciate your sharing this poem with us and the opportunity to review it for you.

Very nice, but I would like to see some punctuation given it's a poem. A poem without punctuation is a flower without petals, it's deflated and there is room to grow :)
Love to you x

Dupur I love the character you give the moon, it's a very nurturing and heartfelt write. Do you have this in a different language as well, If so I'd love to read it.
