   on a clear midnight
   silver moon overhead
   pale white shoulders glow

   Damn, girl!
   
   Shiki, Sketchbook and now this. You've definitely got my rookie-of-the-year vote.
   
   Way to go.
   
   her black hair
   her white shoulder

   Thank you all for your comments and poems.
   
   Josh and Johnny: Sincerest thanks, my haijin mentors. You both inspire me more than I can say.

   desert sentinel
   reaching for the heavens
   a coat of white

   Every now and then, there's a haiku with imagery I haven't seen a million times before. This is one of them! Great ku, Melissa. :)

    Lovely, Melissa. No sledding down that snow hill, tho.

    Peter: Thank you!
    
    Jen: So glad this was a relatively novel image for you. Thank you so much!
    
    Judith: Ha! Certainly would be a rough ride! It'd be especially brutal on an innertube.
    
    Terrytip: "desert sentinel"...yes the mighty saguaro has earned that title.
    
    Orgbob: "tropical coldfront"...hmmm

    missy,
    brief subtropical chilly weather gives rise to memories; yet, even when it's hot, a cold front should be expected from time to time; specially on the beach ;-)

    march winds
    falling mango bud
    litter the grounds

    Hi, Orgbob! Ah, I love the stark contrast between 'tropical' and 'coldfront,' and what I meant to imply was that the two words together made me stop and ponder the juxtaposition. Goosebumps, indeed. "Mango bud litter"...what a lovely image! Thank you. Melissa (Or Missy. How did you know?) :-)
