This is beautiful, and the image you chose really fits the piece!
Wonderful reflections, if only everyone found strength is something to make them want to fight, the pull of the moon can be strong indeed.
Great one! So poetic.
This was extremely powerful! Loved your poem!
This is lovely, and kind of empowering. well done, once again.
Such a powerfully impactful haiku. Well done.
Very inspirational and beautiful
And we fight on. Beautiful Haiku!
This was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Go gurl! I love the I-WILL-make-it determination in this one! 🥰
The moon can be a bright and willing saviour, if we just look to it. I love how you draw our eyes to the moons reflection in the dark waters, acting as an instant realisation that hope is up for grabs. I love the imagery and the title. Such a great idea and a thought provoking approach to what the moon can do for us.
