HAIKU MOON

speak of the moon
but not of empty presence
the fox      its shadow


on the water
still of night
the moon      its rippled light


moon behind a cloud
           when lovers part
tears without witness

An elegantly written series of haikus, Daver. That last one is especially moving and beautiful!

These are more than haiku Daver, your imagery inspires. Let there always be moonlight in our mind's eye. Hugs, Connie

We'd make a hell of a poetic team dear poet, your "Moon beams", and a bit of the sidereal from my lil' spot in the heavens ! I know that my writes lean to the innermost workings of overt's orbits, yet, I'm constantly thinking of the stars*smiles* and of Lucretius a wonderful poet and profound philosipher, whom I think you'd enjoy....sorry I lost it there my friend, have a wonderful 4th sir.............much love, james

wow, that last one blew me away, "Daver. Hey,I wanted you to know in case you had not heard yet. I am in Kentucky a few more days and I can't get to hotmail. In case you did PFT poems and I did not respond to them, that is why. I am not looking forward to all the junk that is probably piling up in my hotmail right now. Wish I were able to get to it from the computer at my in-laws' house!
