But little else is connected to its renown. Written in an AABA rhyme pattern as a lyric poem, a rubaiyat is a group of quatrain stanzas. \u003cem\u003eRubaiyat from a Floating Life\u003c\/em\u003e is Don Moore's view of life as a traveler in a world of regulation, remorse, and recompense. He describes his appreciation for beauty in the natural universe and his satisfaction with friendships shared through talk and drink. In addition to Omar Khayyam, Moore refers to the spirit of other authors and poets. But inspired by the intellect and interests of Khayyam, Moore paid homage to the Persian poet in stanza 98 of his own rubaiyat: \"Ah, Khayyam, oft across your verse enshrined\/My eyes have gone where your whole being wined\/ And till my every atom drinks, my mind\/Alone must quaff this draught: no axe to grind.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Jr. Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951985168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951985165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Virtualbookworm.com Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.09d","brand":"Don Jr. Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442742866175,"sku":"9781951985165","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0df68183-e71b-413c-858a-c4ff9ffcd905.jpg?v=1777199466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rubaiyat-from-a-floating-life-don-jr-moore-9781951985165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
