Cracked face, thats wonderful, in reality it's surface is cracked if you look from a shorter distance with a telescope, but from a distance doesn't really appear cracked...BUT in this case it also tells us that the branches veils the moon slightly, letting it appear as a cracked face again, it's all a great enigma of masks...but I'm sure this haiku holds a lot more meanings than this. Beautifully penned.

I never considered the moon to have a cracked face...How very clever Andrew. I wrote about the moon last night too. Have a whole page of attempted haiku
Maybe I will post some.
It was so beautiful and clear here last night and I couldn't help but be inspired.

wonderful
I have not read the above poems mentioned in the above comments, but what I do know is this poem is wonderful, lovely and just about perfect. Wonderful job. -
At dutch is this "zie de maan schijnt door de bomen"
A childsong for our way of Santa.
There are indeed many ways to look at or after trees. And even with no full moon. Again a pleasant image -
And twelve hours later it was night. These trees must play an integral part in your life. Do they sit just outside the window behind your desk where you sit and muse? This just seemed like the perfect answer to your sunrise poem. Well written...Susan
