Living with Poetry: THE CLOUD AND THE MOON

Saturday, 25 October 2014

Why the cloud feels proud to hide the moon

Upon its journey, so many past and present thrills

The moon crosses the effect, in its trilling smiles,

And slowly makes its presence in the sky’s fore front.

Comment on a poem, TANKA, published on 28.08.2013

Frederick Smith • I feel you have not only captured the form of the Tanka, but allowed your understanding of the form to evolve to the next plateau. Your poetry intrigues me, Paul, and I am very interested in your take on the Absolute, to use a word used often by Kipling.
