Moon Haiku


winter dark
clouds hide the Wolf moon
fling white flakes

**

rising moon
shines in jigsaw shapes
...winter limbs







Cropped watercolor

You always surprise me! I love the second one - such good imagery for my imagination.

Describing the moon as a wolf moon is so unexpected and then to fling snowflakes. What fun the wolves are having.

Particularly like the action and image of your closing line.

I especially love the first one - white wolf winter
they fit together

You capture the mystery of the moon so beautifully. This prompt has me returning to the old told "The Cosmic Mother"--the spirit of which your poem invokes.

Oooh... that first one has me shivering!

Especially with that watercolor. Nicely done.

Oh that first one is a gem in the sky! It begins a story nearly. Thank you.

Both these haiku fit the image - such rich imagery.

the first one makes me think of our ever "fogged in" moon..... both very lovely....

Really like the second one. I love looking at the moon between tree branches (frozen, leafed, bare, whatever ...). :-)

I love both of them so much! The words spring to life.

"winter dark"

You can almost envision the deep blanket of nothing... night against the snow. Love it.
