@Rosi I agree with
@Amata that the moon in Janward's and Date's poem refer to Janward since Jan means Moon. Even Kade recognized that they flirt even in the poem.
Credit to Santeti Leekit on FB. This user explained that in the novel Kade intend to encourage Janward with her poem to not underestimate herself. Janward implied that she is a lowly moon, her place is not on the sky but on the ground. So, Kade implied that the moon on the ground like Janward is rare and valuable. But Date was so lost with how good Kade's poem was that he thought Kade is that moon (the rare walking moon) instead of Janward. Luckily i saved his/her translation of the 3 poems coz i found they are easy to understand. I would love to see your translation too when you have time
@Amata
Janward's poem:
The lowly moon is out-shined by the sunlight
Makes her light not bright like before
Plus the clouds obstruct her way like the wall
I, then, know my place. It's as low as the floor (ground)
Date's poem:
Though the moon is blocked and out-shined
Flocks of birds still chirp, praise her high
So the moon does care the clouds. why?
The little star shall fly to fight along with the moon
Kade's poem:
The moon on the sky is boring and easy to find
The moon on earth is precious like sapphire
The walking moon that can keep you company is utterly rare
The floating moon on the sky has nothing but the glare
as it is not only hard to translate to the other language, but also hard to interpret the meaning to Thai
