Full Moon

full moon shining down
    glowing in the black night sky
         controller of moods


full face of the moon
   casting its light on the sea
        control ebb and flow


shining moon above
   it watches us while we dream
       knows all our secrets

Really like this one! Oh the full moon does have an effect on us (particularly women:) ... really relate to this one! Enjoyed the read. It was so much fun writing something for your contest based on that picture:) Looking forward to reading all the entries for your contest...imaginations will run rampant no doubt!

Juliet told Romeo not to pledge his love beneath the "inconstant moon," Francine. Your first verse reminded me of this. People are fickle with their feelings sometimes. Fishing is best when there's a full moon controling the tides and I like the throught of the moon watching over us while we dream, knowing our secrets. Excellent haiku series! Love, carolyn

(2) "I HAVE BEEN HONORED “personally” INDEED OF GOD MY FATHER IN HAVING THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING YOU AND IN BEING SELECTED BY YOUR WISDOM OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!! AND THIS WAS BY BEING HONORED IN YOUR CONTESTS IN FIRST PLACE HONORS. BLESSING OF PARANORMAL LOVE BE POURED OUT UNTO YOU, MY SISTER Francine! One cannot achieve any higher honor, than to seek and choose their own source(God) above the flesh foible. Agape, Moses

A great series Haiku Francine. The great piece of art that you are yourself" is revealed, Francine, in your Haiku For when one discovers the beauty of nature hidden within it's own perfection! They have discover the beauty of God's body. Then one is apt to look past the foible flesh body to see the essence of Love's beauty hidden within the perfection of the Sacred heart of another! You've done this!!
