for both Ludwigs
Beethoven only gave it a number,
Piano Sonata Fourteen.
Years later the poet Rellstab
named it Mondscheinsonate
and I will not dispute his license.
For when Selene rises at sundown
behind the darkened trees
and casts a porcelain dagger
across the surface of the lake,
faint ripples from the breeze
tickle the pebbles on shore
then poets and composers alike
are reminded of your charm
and get to work.
Today, weβd like to challenge you to write a poem that is inspired by a piece of music, and that shares its title with that piece of music.
This was obviously inspired by the Moonlight Sonata, not Clair de lune.
Stunning.
