Sara, oh my, There is an error in my previous comment. I meant MOON lovers Not Mom lovers! Today…neither the Edit button nor update buttons work on your site. Yesterday, it was the validation button? Gee. Apologies, Pangie

I've had trouble with the validation button as well--seems random. Today I couldn't send soup mail...just weird. Thank you for stopping by and reading my poem. I appreciate you and your kindness, Sara

I commented on this earlier but its gone… not sure if its a glitch. Was saying.. how beautiful this is and how much i adore moon poems and this haiku is just beyond beautiful and the picture goes so well with your words, thank you for blessing my mind with this haiku. I see the moon through your words and i think many poets are inspired by the moon: like shakespeare too was…. Queen of haiku you are

that's weird that your earlier comment is gone. I recall reading and commenting on it...strange stuff. I'm grateful you like moon poems. I love staring at the moon and watching it gently move across the sky. Yes, Shakespeare did love the moon. He was ahead of his time poetically. Enjoy your evening, Sara

This is the one where the validation key died. Hey, this Haiku is so enchanting, and the image? Breathtaking. Mom lovers here, like me would love this creation of yours, Well done! Pangie xx

thank you for your visit, Pangie. True, moon lovers would love it. I guess I'm a bit of a moon lover so I suppose that's where the poem came from :-) Sara
