unreal dream
that's my least poem, i wish you could love it.
The moon appears
The sun has gone
It never knows the one had been waiting for it
Until the last second it had to go down
They have never met once
Even if everyday they keep up
The dawn sees the ending without hope
That is the fate belonging to the moon and sun

Hi hengjincai8923, Interesting idea, and I think that writing poetry in anything other than your mother-tongue is extremely difficult! From your name, I'm guessing your mother-tongue is Chinese Mandarin ( putonghua ). Did you write this poem in Chinese and then translate it into English, or did you think of it, and write it, entirely in English?

- By the way, I love some Chinese poetry in English translation (Arthur Waley, and the rest).

Well, when I was an elementary school grader, sometimes I saw the sun and the moon at the same time in the morning! (The sun was in the east while the moon was in the west). Dunno if that was actually the moon or Mercury, though.
