"Under the crescent moon's faint glow". "Under the moon" by Li Po
https://allpoetry.com/poem/14327922-...-Moon-by-Li-Po

Had to resort to old Safari browser for Windows due to this session's forum bugginess... and even Safari is a bit off...

I think the AI is confused in the summary re: "washing bat": https://www.google.com/search?num=10...h=390&dpr=2.25... otherwise enjoyed :)

"VAINLY hath heaven denounc'd the woman's woes," - Robert Nugent; Epigram Xvii... https://allpoetry.com/Epigram-XVII.

Addendum: Odd.................... websites using a dot (.) at the end of their urls are causing links not to go where they should since the dot (.) is automatically being left off unless surrounded by url and /url; beginning to think this is a trend.

Christmas bugging? If Safary doesn´t work There is always Duck Duck Go and Sea Monkey (using this one presently and have been using it for more than a year specifically for LitNet)

Hmm "The washerman's bat resounds afar,". Might be a translation poem, for who would wash clothes at night, under the crescent moon?

"Epigram Xvii..." I have to think more about this epigram. Not sure I agree with AI. The focus seems to be more on a general lack of feeling and empathy, towards the woman but also towards the offspring.

re: Odd indeed. Going to be attentive.

Two haikus by Yosa Buson;

White blossoms of the pear
and a woman in moonlight
reading a letter.

Washing the hoe by Yosa Buson

Washing the hoe--
ripples on the water;
far off, wild ducks.

"Beware! The Israelite of old, who tore" - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; The Warning... https://www.poetrycat.com/henry-wads...ow/the-warning

Tried to find context of The Warning, as the biblical story seems to be a comparison to some situation in the present of the present of the lyrical voice, but wasn't successful.
