Nocturnal Radiance

Ballet of shadows,
Oscillating with the breeze:
Lantern in the sky.

Oscillating shadows, great imagery! Shadows do dance from the waving light from a lantern. This piece is so simple, but rather fascinating under close examination. Your haiku's go way beneath the surface. One can learn so much from your work. You are a great asset to the Soup and to world of poetry. God bless.
