Notes About The Poem

Drunken Moon

tonight's horizon
slices the moon into two---
    
                wounds are licked by waves

Carrie, I finally made my way down here.... By far this was my fav. Since I first laid eyes, on this reflection, I felt every sore, aching for another moonlight. Congratulations on your Drunken Moon haiku win. Always & Forever ~LINDA~
