Haiku for a Frozen Night

Maybe this isn’t a breezy summer piece like the song, but the moon has always been an emotional object. On a cold winter’s night it can bring a feeling of wonder, beauty, or stark desolation depending upon the setting. It seems to affect the entire world with its pale light — even the animals take notice. Perhaps you’ll get a bit of a shiver with this one. It is winter after all…

A photo of a crescent moon to the lower right-hand side of the image on a black background. The haiku is in the upper left. The photo was taken by the author on February 14, 2024.

For those using a screen reader, the haiku is:

Moonlight on fresh snow
Paints all a monochrome grey;
A lone owl calls out
