That picture perfectly illustrates the moon leaning in to whisper to the breeze blowing through those leafless trees. Your poem is bewitching! Lots of imagery.

Very original Haiku. Nice photo-shop on the picture.

Why is it that the full of moon
Brings werewolves out and lovers swoon?
Melissa, it can often be
What makes us poets write poetry.

This work has reached the exceptional level

this haiku demonstrates a fine word choice with an exquisite satori line to round it off. So appropriate as we approach a full moon, either tonight or tomorrow.

Oooh! Did you already enter another haiku for the contest? This is lovely with the personification of the poetic moon who "whispers sonnets." You explain that gravitational pull so poetically!!

Great short poem. I love the phrases leans in and the last line--bewitching the earth. Well done. How do you feel about your Razorbacks this year? Hope all is well.

    Hello Tim... thank you so much for the lovely review. I am thrilled you like it and really appreciate your comments!! About them Hogs... as of yesterday, the Razorback baseball team won their game and is going to the College World Series in Omaha. I am an avid fan of the team and cannot wait to see them play... as for football, I can't see it through waving baseball bats. LOL. But, when Football season starts... I'm all in :)

    Cool, I played college baseball and then played in the minor leagues for a few years before going to law school. Baseball is my favorite sport!
