lost in the desert--
the August moon
fills up the sky

    deb,
    it's nice to see you also on Tinywords... your beautiful ku reminds me an old and "unhinged" of mine:

    loneliness...
    on snowy fields
    moonlight

    Hi Deb,
    Beautiful haiku (as always). It made me think of one I wrote a while back:

    Half moon flickering
    in the river below ...
    suddenly, your face!

    debbie, how time, without perception, passes us by.
    i get to say hi once more, if only because of tinywords. was it only (yesterday), i was reading your "bareroot rose"; even then, almost a year had to pass for my reply; seems to be the way for lasting friendship...

    poe's raven comes to mind

    -

    where this august night
    the moon
    can't seem to make up it's mind


    evermore

    just me

    Very nice haiku.

    I wrote this little poem after reading yours:

    modest impact craters-
    my bootprints
    on her desert moon

    And yes, I know "bootprints" is not a valid word but I do tend to abuse my poetic license quite a bit.

    I fly to the moon
    my shadow stays below.

    j.e. stanley, i framed your words. people find fault in my pleading "poetic license".
    i'm glad to know there's at least one other who tends to be creative rather than following that staid path seen too often these days.(i was winded after typing that sentence)

    -

    on the footpath
    through the shadowy forest
    through the pines
    peers the moon
