For me, Paul, this was the perfect example of the kind of haiku I love to see. And I also could see it as a metaphor for a poet flirting with the moon in her writing. JUST really CUTE! BIG congrats to you.

Many thanks, Andrea! Placing first in your contest is such a big boost, especially now that my writing time has been somewhat curtailed. ~ Regards // paul

I really like this a lot Paul. I wrote a haiku long ago a bit like this. I love the visual imagery of the moon and the joy of being free of clothing. #7 ; )

I must agree with Eileen, what a wonderful suggestive Haiku, peace and love xoxoxo

I'm glad you agree with Eileen, Aurore:) Haiku are supposed to be suggestive (though not necessarily sensual). Peace and love to you too! xox paul
