Pieces of Moon

Pieces of Moon



Four Lunes

The wind's a stiff broom

tears of snow

clean the scratched moon's face

~*~

The heart's star falling

just a spark

in sapphire void

~*~

The unwise lover

did as told

but the moon still set

~*~

Water rolls off old

fingerprints

 greasy on the soul

Sunday Mini-Challenge: Lunes

Grace challenges us to write a form invented by poet Robert Kelly to make the intent of Japanese haiku more natural to write in English. The form, called the lune, is three lines, with a syllable count of  5-3-5.
