resting
in a tree--
the moon

Author notes
It was a beautifully clear night, at the end of my road, the tree still leafless, stood with the full moon behind its branches. Looked just like it was taking a rest.

Outstanding write!
Wow! This is so beautiful. What a beautiful image I see here. A full moon, shining bright, gently slips through the air, and takes its place in between the branches of a tree. Such a beautifully captured Zen moment. This 'ku actually sinks in the soul so beautifully. Etheral and precious, in just six words and a 2-3-2 format{which makes it fall so well and balance out very beautifully}, this is BRILLIANT! A very peaceful, light, delicate, to an extent romantic and a very calming feeling this write evokes. Truly, this is a winner!
Heartiest congratulations on your win! Well deserved!!!!
Best Wishes,

great work with the simplicity, andrew! MAN! Didn't use the title, but most haiku doesn't get one anyways line breaks held special meaning, and the way it unravels it makes me see myself in the tree, which makes me identify then with the moon, which is a nice feeling

Go Andrew, it's your birthday!
Very descriptive and with few words! A++++ -
That's about as simple as it gets, isn't it?
I bet the moon just has to rest, considering
all the mayhem it gets blamed for!
Nicely done, and good luck. -
Nice job. Isn't it funny how it seems that the moon is in the trees sometimes? Good luck and God bless, Penny
-
Andrew, I can just see it now, so relaxing to sit on the porch and gaze at the moon, isn't it? Well done, best of luck!
