    The rain as a metaphor for moonbeams, like manna from heaven, providing inspiration.
    Talked imagery too.

    Well in the first paragraph it said it was raining did it not?

    I did question 1... you definitely needed to talk about imagery in this poem, and how it was a source of inspiration and (perhaps) how for that moment, even though the poet had to go, he defied time in a bid to stay with the inspirational beauty yada yada yada...

    The moon had a universal energy on people - from Poland to Italy - it was highly universal, yet profound and personal, much like the romance which it evoked in people... and so on...

    No, it said 'under YOUR rain' i.e he's calling the moonbeams rain

    Mingin poem i thought. I waffled about tranquality, relaxation and procrastination (that guy who had to leave cuz of the clock but didnt)

    The spacing made the poem feel very slow, waffled a good bit bout that. didnt like that poem one bit. usually the unseen is a sitter. I wasnt happy :(
