Frost clings to grass, a
winter dew that pales to match
the full solstice moon.

sammy i love haiku! hoozah! -
I have to agree, I love this haiku, everything about it is perfect, right down to the seasonal reference at the end. Good haiku like this are indeed hard to come by.

I like how there is "movement" in this one. the impression of someone seeing the beutiful light on grass at night missing out on the source of the light, and then _WOW_ they see it, and forget the beauty of the frost on the grass. says something spiritual to me.

this is beautiful in spite of being short. well done short pieces are so hard to find.
I enjoyed the read,
