The funny little Romantic lyric is addressed to the moon
but it can be read as making some serious points nevertheless. It is a love poem,
written in a typical and cliched eulogistic rhetoric with a tone of romantic effusion
and exaggeration.
The poem is a classic example
of visually charged pattern poetry where the placement of the lines create a visual
image in a calligraphic way that harmonizes with the major theme of the poem. The
alignment of the lines here typographically evokes the image of a half-moon in its
perfect slice-shape.
The poem in terms of expressing a love
of moon and ending on the word 'luna' may be read as an expression of lunacy or a kind
of madness, supposed to be caused by the moon.
