longing for moonlight
plum blossoms arrayed in vase
waiting by lamplight
This haiku is my response to Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation
#106 Revise That Haiku by Taigi.
arranging the plum-flowers,
I would enjoy them in the light of the lamp,
as if in the moonlight

Beautiful!
And has my gears spinning … perhaps had I offered a vase of blooms, the full moon would’ve come out from behind clouds Saturday night?
