Fingers crossed as so many of my comments are removed, I'd given up posting.
But this is so beautiful!!!!!
I loved it when I saw it just in words:
glassy lake
flocks of snow geese
pull up the moon

I can barely say more, the artwork is awesome, and had to be, to match the haiku.
Sorry to hear your comments are not appearing! In fact we don't remove any of your comments … it's just that anything posted with a link in it gets held for moderation, and sometimes I don't get around to approving the "held for review" comments for a while. I have always approved anything I've seen from you!
The reason for that policy is spam … if we didn't hold comments with links, we would be overrun by ads for viagra and essay writing services. I delete dozens of these spam comments every week.
A lot had no web links or emails or anything like that.
In fact I'm probably your most prolific SPAM reporter as I regularly trawl through historic posts both for pleasure and for our haiku courses, giving web links, as otherwise we like to ask permissions. :-)
So I'm perplexed.
Perhaps I'll venture forth nervously and post over the next month or so. The thing is, that if I don't record the comment on a word.doc, and I spend a lot of time on them, then it's lost forever, and I can't use them.
So my posts don't have links, I think one or two very historic ones do, and I am your main reporter of Spam where the author's name/avator is a direct link to promotions of electronic goods etc… <grin>
No, it's not that, some have been up for almost a day, sometimes longer. I'm very careful about what I put into a comment (no web links anymore) and if I have to, drafting it temporarily onto a word.doc which I've usually deleted once the comment is up safely.

Do your comments ‘time out’ perhaps, Alan? I’ve had this happen to me on other sites.

A wonderful combination of image and poem.

As always, Debbie Strange has produced a masterpiece. I love how the geese “pull up” the moon!

DEBBIE,
__ Such a grand and warm photo, underlined by your equally grand haiku… a haiga that laces itself into every reader's imagination! _m

One of the brilliant haiku juxtaposing the image (Sha-hai) that I have read in the recent past. Congratulations, Debbie!
