The Drunken Moon

Traditional Haiku :

the harvesting moon
reflects none of its corners
in the empty glass

the setting full moon
reflecting all its corners
in the half-full glass

- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Contemporary haiku :

blood moon
filling wine jars
at dusk


Harvest  night
-in a farmer's wine glass
the spinning moon


a crescent moon
its missing piece floating
in lemon  soda

Inspired  by Skat' s contest Drunken Moon
but not for the contest

Thanks Skat...

A great Bengali poet Sukanta Bhattacharya who lived in the world only 21 years, wrote, "The world is full of verse in the hungry kingdom/ Full moon is like a burned bread." I remember my dearest poet to read your drunken moon. Thank you so much.

wow, these are amazing. You ought to do that one "blood moon" separately and enter it into the contest. If I were Skat, that one would get in the top three at least!!
