Dear Lunar Neighbour,

Pick a shape, and stick with it!

Signed, all Earthlings...

Note: I know that a haiku for this Challenge might seem rather odd, but I think that the best notes to neighbours and the like should be brief, and I have also just hit the right word count, so there.

K.D.

Truth!

    Haha, this gave me a good laugh! Short, clever, and perfectly captures our collective confusion with the moon’s ever-changing moods. 🌕😆

    Really cute haiku - and an even better name for it. Loved this one so much.
