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

an exceptional haiku. Thanks.

Your words paint a beautiful picture within my mind, reminding me of the times I have seen similar sights. Thank you for the reminder, very touching. Thank you for sharing it. RoseAnn

it's very kind of you, Kelly

Beautiful. You have done the haiku justice, Sir.
