Winter Moon

Shiver shimmer orb. Waxing crescent, then frozen. Night’s naked ghost eye.

This is such a well written Haiku Thomas. Love your choice of carefully chosen words. Really effective. Great imagery. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you so much, Christina! Aristotle said that the sculptor sees the sculpture within the stone. I think the poet must also see the Haiku within the seventeen characters. Take care, Thomas. :-)

Your third line, Thomas skillfully pulls your Haiku together like a neatly threaded sweater. Original phasing to convey such a sharp image. Congratulations! Brian
