The Moon Unfazed

My choice for our Book of the Week is The Moon Unfazed, by Christopher Herold. We all write moon haiku, but do we write them well? Let Christopher’s example guide us. And enjoy his introduction, where he relates the genesis of this collection in lonely moments with the moon.

sea foam
moonlight tumbles
up the beach

tide pool
a crab disappears
under the moon

garbage scow
the drawbridge slowly opens
to a moon-bright sea
