First Waltz

the first waltz begins
Luna’s red evening gown--- 
rented for the hour

I took an amazing photo of the huge red moon rising at  around 6:00 p.m. with a backdrop of a navy blue sky...beautiful!

I love your description of the moon wearing a dress... it's very imaginative. Yet the most beautiful things don't stay very long... sad to think it stayed for merely an hour. Good haiku!

Thank you Mohammad! As to the comments on your "Senryu", did I get the meaning or was I off? Sometimes we each read something different in a poem.
