Notes About The Poem

So, as I sat, pondering the intricacies of the Haiku and Senryu the muse decided to have some fun with the vagaries of such sport.  I have dubbed it the Hai-ryu Sen-ku.

Hai-Ryu Sen-Ku

secrets

some days
sunlight ricochets                             
plays hooky in the heavens
hides among the clouds

some nights
moonlight meanders
basking in cool soothing air
hiding in plain sight

sometimes
sunlight and moonlight
hang out on the horizon
hugging each other

Thanks Tom, I'm glad someone found this one hiding in the non-contest arena of PS.
