The Drunken Moon

Traditional Haiku : the harvesting moon reflects none of its corners in the empty glass the setting full moon reflecting all its corners in the half-full glass - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contemporary haiku : blood moon filling wine jars at dusk Harvest night -in a farmer's wine glass the spinning moon a crescent moon its missing piece floating in lemon soda Inspired by Skat' s contest Drunken Moon but not for the contest Thanks Skat...

A great Bengali poet Sukanta Bhattacharya who lived in the world only 21 years, wrote, "The world is full of verse in the hungry kingdom/ Full moon is like a burned bread." I remember my dearest poet to read your drunken moon. Thank you so much.

wow, these are amazing. You ought to do that one "blood moon" separately and enter it into the contest. If I were Skat, that one would get in the top three at least!!
