Rubaiyat from a Floating Life

Exploring themes of travel, beauty, and companionship, the work reflects on life's complexities through the lens of a modern traveler. Don Moore draws inspiration from Omar Khayyam, employing the AABA rhyme scheme typical of rubaiyat poetry. He expresses a deep appreciation for nature and the joy of shared moments over conversation and drink. Moore also pays homage to other literary figures while capturing the essence of Khayyam's influence, particularly in a poignant stanza that resonates with longing and intellectual reflection.
