Moon Rondeau

"Love is a door we shall open together.''
So tthey told each other under the moon
One evening when the smell of leaf mould
And the beginings of roses and patatoes
Cameo a wind.

Late in the hours of that evening
They looked long at the moon and called it
A silver button, a copper coin, a bronze wafer,
A plaque of gold, a vanished diadem,
A brass dripping from deep waters.

''People like us,
us two,
We own the moon."

Carl Sandburg

When I first read this poem in my textbook buring class,the feelings of the poem really reminded me of love.It had reminded me of wonderful couples and just being happy. At first I wrote it by hand, then I said,''Icould show it to my friends that have a boyfriend'', so they could reflect there expression, as being a couple.

To me in this poem love ment something really strong that is worth alot.. My first thoughts of this poem was two couples being together and looking at a foolmoon and just expressing there feelings. Also the poem to me it means that as with your couple you get to encourage your feelings and just telling each other the truth, as if being a couple who understands each other.

As the poem says one they saw the moon and just stared calling it a silver buttton,copper coin and this just reminded me of that love is so strong that when you exprss your feelingit just gets to you. No matter what nobody could change your thoughts of love. At the end of the poem when it said,"People like us, us ttwo, we own the moon,''these are two happy couples that see each together and nobody could ever brake them apart.
