I’ve always been moved by the sight of the new moon in the night sky. This haiku is my attempt to capture that moment in words.
The Syracuse Poster Project is a wonderful community initiative. It encourages local poets, both experienced and new, to share their works celebrating our beautiful part of the world. Having an opportunity to collaborate with a visual artist studying at Syracuse University makes it really special. This is my third haiku to be honored in this way.
Crescent moon, hung close
to earth, a silver sliver
caught in smoke—dark clouds
