Inspired

When Shiro and I left New Year's dinner at my Chinese friend's house around 8:30 last night, I saw a beautiful crescent in the night sky. But when I looked for the moon around 10:30, all I could see were shining stars. Then I heard a sound under the distant sky.

Here's a haiku written this morning inspired by ...

夜も更けて
麗しき月
かくれんぼ

yomo fukete (As the night deepens)
uruwashiki tsuki (the pretty, graceful moon)
kakurenbo (is playing hide and seek)
