An Open Grove

an open grove allows in the moon’s glow… faithful delight
Russell Sivey May not be true to Haiku form but I couldn't resist the urge to write it this way. Contest: In The Mood Sponsor: Catie Lindsey 5/15/2013

What a spectacular image! Not to sound super-nerdy here, but I couldn't help but think of my days playing Zelda, and wondering through the confusing forests. As far as the form goes I'm glad you broke the rules... fewest possible words for maximum impact is the key to good haiku! You did excellent here!
