a senryu doesn't need a cut/ a juxtaposed single line..and if often about the doing of men. Light & Love

Thanks, Debbie, for pointing it out. I thought with the personifcation it would be more of a senryu, but I have read haiku with human involvement so I'm admittedly CONFUSED! LOL. Thanks for trying to help. Blessings, Rhonda

very cool! Tho' much different take on the Full moon I wrote of on the Soup a while back...Mine was to be a contest for hire write on this very subject. SO, me being the weird sun uvva GuNN that I'm Iz, I chose to write a Haiku called "full Moon Thugs" ...It tells a short tale of some teenagers at the mall who fail to wear their pants at a reasonable height, ABOVE THE WAISTED BOotay area. Hence, the name "FULL MOON THUGS. ---I am pretty sure your poem is much better:)

Went back and read your "Full Moon Thugs". No, not at all like mine. Very funny! I saw a guy at the library lose his pants and his underwear were loose, too. Everyone who saw his full moon laughed.He pulled his pants up, kept walking like nothing happened. I thought it was a trend but after all these years, I guess we have to get used to seeing crack in public.
