Bamboo Night

melting by star light
slow, tranquil, solemn moon cold 
snow on bamboo white

Hi Lora, Thank you so much. I'm glad that you recognize that there is more to a haiku than that which meets the eye at first glance. It is fun to create an atmosphere, a feel, an emotion, an entire world with the use of the fewest of words. Have a wonderful day. Take care, Earl
