A Transient Blemish

(mind wanderings on a sleepless night)

distant fir tree tops

create silhouette tattoos

on moon's peerless skin

dear Chris... the Moon does appear to have tattoos...
and I can only imagine... as I view beyond the stars
through the top of fir trees what secret symbols are
embedded... perhaps angel wings and flowers praying
for our world in disarray. gently, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat, thank you for your lovely response. Always good to have a visit from you.

[Chris Shaw]

Pleased you think so Neville. It was certainly worth the looking at. Thank you for digging this old one up. That’s the poem mind:)

A striking and quite creative bit of imagery.
Your mind, poetess, wanders to very lovely places.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Jimmy for your thoughtful review. All good wishes.

I really like this one. I interpret this haiku as a statement on perception. We see the moon for the trees in the way of it instead of how fair it really is

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Christopher and for sharing your thoughts. Your visits are welcome and appreciated.

[CMC]

What an extraordinary observation, Chris But, closed my eyes and saw.. absolutely.. clever.. beautiful

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Em. This one I didn't have to imagine. I saw it, and striking it was too. A blemish on the moon's skin.

[emmajoy]

And to think it was free and waiting to be found.. lucky lucky you! Enjoy the day, smile, keep safe. :)

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you. Have a good Sunday Em.

[emmajoy]

Hope to. Long night awake.. visitors later.. snatching a kip tween times! Five chores done out of nine. :)

[Chris Shaw]

Hope your day is good.

[emmajoy]

Not been bad, two visitors, sitting at the required distance chit chatting, plus as we can't really share, a bottle of wine each plus plastic cups.. to be used as little or more as fancied As am manning the phone tonight as do, only two small glasses over.three hours.. must be a record!

But a good day, yes, plus the sun grew as time went on..spread itself kindly around my world!!! Hope yours was similar or same.. no unforeseen hi cups or whatevers. :)

Another fine Haiku, dear Chris. You always capture the imagery so well in the brevity of the form. Tattoos on the moon is so very original. Not that I can stand tattoos, mind you. Yuck! So well described, here. Much enjoyed! :))

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you dear Jamila. Beautiful moonlight, but yes I saw the tattoo. Our Beth is going through a phase and now has several. I have to say I am delighted most of the shops are closed. Today's fashion could become tomorrows nightmare. She doesn't see it that way :)) Thank you for checking in.
