morning star
stalks crescent moon
mockingbird song
This is an attempt at American haiku, which is said to be a better fit with the traditional Japanese haiku than the 5/7/5 syllable form. (It should have twelve accented syllables and I’m a little uncertain about that.) However, this does reflect a nature scene that’s very familiar to me.
A beautiful symbolic and allegorical triad.
Obviously Christ (the Morning Star) hunts and subdues the crescent moon (Artemis/Islam)
providing all satirical poets (mockingbirds) with material for a song.
Well done. Write on !
Make American Haiku GREAT again.
