full moon on the rise
shadows of branches on white
my breath a pale mist
snow under moonlight
footsteps breaking the silence
walking through my breath
The challenge for Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #72 Poetry Archive is to write a new poem inspired by one from our own archive. The first haiku here (in blue) was written as a response to a Frank Tassone #Haikai Challenge regarding the winter moon.

I love the way both haiku breathe and the imagery, Ken, with the visual of the moon and branch shadows in the first and the use of sound in the second.

Thank you, Kim. My original intent was to use two of my haiku to create a fusion haiku, but I was intent on the first one here and couldn’t find another close enough to maintain a focus. Still, I enjoyed going through my haiku archive.

I love the line- walking through my breath. In winter we can see it but guess we’re always doing it.

I saw almost the full moon this month… but this winter there hasn’t been much sky day or night.
And we are expecting about 7 inches by the end of this day followed by a topping of ice.

We had a couple of inches of snow last night that was eliminated by rain by morning. Sleet was falling, and streets were pretty hazardous, but our street crews are pretty proactive (being the state capital and having more hills than level areas), so that there often is preemptive salting, and salters were in my neighborhood treating the icy streets before sunup.
