The picture is lovely! 😍 What’s the poem about according to you? 

Is there an English translation for this poem? So more people can read it who perhaps don’t know the original language. 


Alsooo, we try to maintain some order in the forum-land by keeping things in the English language so more people are able to understand and participate in the discussion/ thread! Plus for ease in moderation. 🌞

Sorry it's my fault Here's the translation:


One day, the moon stubbornly sat down and said to its mother,

"Mother, stitch me a thick woolen cloak.

The cold wind blows all night, and I shiver with cold,

somehow managing to complete my journey.


The journey through the sky and this winter season,

if not possible, then at least get me a coat on rent."


The mother listened to her child's words and said,

"Oh dear child, may God bless you, don't be affected by magic spells.

The cold is one thing, but I'm worried about something else,

I've never seen you the same size.


Sometimes you're a finger wide, sometimes a foot thick,

one day you're big, and the next day you're small.

You grow and shrink every day, and some days you're invisible,

not visible to anyone's eyes.


Now you tell me, when should we take your measurements

to stitch a cloak that fits you every day?"

@crispMango3093 That’s okay, we learn something new! 🌞

Oh I like moon’s mother response, it’s like a reminder that moon doesn’t have to fit in one size and has different phases, beautiful in each one! 😍 Thanks for sharing!
