Full moon –
Up and down on the waves
Boat offshore.

hey, fabrizio! i like this. so many poems about the moon! i just read a lovely one by laurie van der hart, a new posting of hers. and i read this recently (in translation) from buson Escaped the nets, escaped the ropes- moon on the water. i have one, o moon. glen
SUPERB Haiku...... On full moon night waves are restless because of the centrifugal force which is greater than the Moon's gravitational pull, ocean water bulges outward and even the boat off shore is affected by it...Great imagery and fantastic translation.
about the picture: it is by Hokusai Katsushika - View of Honmoku near Kanagawa (1803) Kanagawa-oki, Honmoku no zu - Veduta di Honmoku vicino a Kanagawa (1803) Kanagawa-oki, Honmoku no zu
