In Clear Sapphire Sky

in clear sapphire sky

        the bright sliver of moon glows

                  ...owl ruffles feathers

sorry to keep bugging you but I still have no confirmation that Ever Changing Sky has come through to your contest with the correct notation you wanted..G>Lightfoot's song *Unsettled Ways is noted at the bottom. Just let me know it's Ok now? Light & Love

An excellent haiku poem. I've seen so many, but this one is clearly one of the best.

There used to be owls in my backyard in Tallahassee, Francine. Every evening a strange-sounding one would serenade. Love the image of this owl beneath the "sliver of moon." As for riding, I started around age 5 too, but I never owned a horse. How lucky you were to finally get one! If you still enjoy riding, that's another thing we could do when we finally meet. Love, Carolyn
