moon rises
in a cloudy sky
silhouettes
branches dance
to tree frog chorus
pale moonlight
morning plans
hopeful for success
moon-filled dreams
rise early
to see setting moon
clouds return
This haiku/senryū sequence is my response to Twiglet #224 – moon rises. It sums up my attempts to take photos of this month’s “pink” moon/super moon. Monday’s photos yielded trees silhouetted by an obscure moon. The second photo is a 30 second exposure that shows how windy it was. Tuesday morning presented a beautiful amber moon that was already dropping behind clouds well above the horizon. It was totally obscured within three minutes. After taking the night photos, I mentioned to my wife that the tree frogs were the loudest I’d heard in my nine years in Missouri. She reminded me that it was my first time hearing them since getting hearing aids. It’s a loud new world.

Thanks. 🙂 That’s also my favorite. If only I’d pasted it complete! Somehow, I dropped the last word in the second line. Its corrected, now.

Great photos compared to futile attempts in clouded TX skies last week! Love the merging of photos & haiku verses.

I think I’m most pleased when I can pair my own photos with my poetry.
