It's always an occasion to read a Bob Lucky haiku:
day moon even here I’m somewhere else
—Bob Lucky
day moon
a foreign coin
in my change
It's that ghostly day moon again…where will it takes us next? This is a great one-liner
Beautiful! I echo what Alan says!
I read this cool haiku as a wonderful commentary on the mind and challenges of being mindful.
admiring the man
in the moon—
his five o'clock shadow . . .
Thank you for this beautiful haiku.
I love the matter-of-factness of this I see a person working on a practical, even mundane, task, or in a place that doesn't feel particularly inspiring ('even here') who suddenly becomes distracted by the beauty of the day moon. A great one.

A wonderfully spiritual one-line haiku.
Thank you Bob!
