Lashes lost in lunar glow
Smiling eye looks on
Stuck in Haiku’s grasp

Beautiful pictures and verses.
Thanks, Gabriela. How are you and your sweet kitties?
We are fine thank you. How is everyone?
We are hanging in there. It’s cooled down a lot, so the kitties are really wild and rambunctious. The balloon fiesta is consuming the metro area this week.
I am glad the kitties are happy. How was Laurie’s birthday?
It was great. Tristan and Jake the dog came over. I grilled chicken thighs for the main course for dinner, then we had Tiramisu for the first dessert, then chocolate cake. Laurie’s “Expressionist Topper” (a fancy fall jacket) I order for her birthday was delivered yesterday, so that was perfect.
I am so glad you guys had a great time. Sending hugs to everyone 🤗
Gracias.
De nada 🌺🌸
A forever fascinating subject to write about and photograph, and just gaze at. 🌒 A lovely example of all three!
Thanks, Michele. It’s so fortunate that the moon, sunrises and sunsets never grow old, because they Happen. Unfortunately, we grow old.
Oh I so much love your haiku’s and beautiful pictures Timothy💕👏
Thanks, Cindy. I’m happy you like them.
Wonderful haiku and picture! 👌👌
Thanks, Sam.
Pictures that you can easily take your time to contemplate. Well done with impressive verse.
Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Beautiful photos and verse, Tim. I’ve seen a bit of the moon on the last part of this cycle. Clouds this morning though. Probably will not see her tomorrow morning either.
The new moon cometh. I’m not sure I’ll see it tomorrow. When it rises an hour later that this morning, it will be getting pretty light to see a tiny sliver of a moon. Thanks, Lavinia.
Rain forecast here for today. Not much to see anyway. 🙂
I didn’t see the moon this morning.
That first photo… I love it! You amaze me with your night sky pictures. Actually you amaze me with all your photos!
Thank you for sharing them with us!
You are welcome, Nancy. Thank you for the compliment. You need to realize that you are an amazing photographer, also. It’s wonderful we can be amazed and enjoy each others photographs.
What lovely words Tim… thank you!
No matter how many times I look at the moon, I still love to watch it and never get bored. Your photos and the haiku are beautiful! Thank you!
As I commented to Michele, it’s a good thing we never get bored with the moon as it happens all the time. Thanks, Ebar.
Beautiful words and pictures Timothy. As fine as the moon itself.
Thank you for you fine comment, Shey.
In life? I call it like I see it x
Beautiful.
Thanks, Heidi.
Reblogged this on The Reluctant Poet.
Thank you, Sir. Much appreciated.
Always a pleasure to read and share your posts, My Friend!! 😁✨👍
Thanks, Chuck.
Oh my oh my…. the Moon is smiling!!!!! …saying ‘cheese’ for the photographer!
What a joy it is seeing this this morning!
Thank you, my friend. I love the haiku and I love your exceptional images!
…wink back to you!!! 😉
Thanks, Marina. You are too kind. I’m always happy to give you joy.
Smiling! 🙏
This is stunning. What a fitting metaphor, haiku, and photo to capture it.
Thanks for you lovely comment, JYP.
Omg ! A very good combination of haiku and Moon pics . Wonderful !
😉
You certainly captured lovely Halloweeny moon pictures, Timothy.
Thanks, Roberta.
“…and if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon”
It was certainly getting dark with a little Pink Floyd around the edges. Thanks, Brian.
Lovely Tribute to the moon! It’s so beautiful!
Thanks, Holly. I’m happy you liked it.
Loved it Timothy. It’s beautiful!
That is such a wonderful duo of haiku to go with those wonderful images. Truly. Such an artist of the photo and word, you are!
Thanks for you wonderful comment, Dale. I’ve been inspired lately.
You have been amazing!

I still can’t believe that you can take pictures of the moon like this. Every time I see one of the photos I have to pinch myself. What lovely prose and amazing photographs. Thanks Tim, Hugs to you two. Joni
Thanks, Joni.
Amazing photos, Tim. And like others above commented, I never get tired of moon gazing…I’m a dedicated selenophile. Your two haikus fit right in.
Have you ever tried a tanka poem? It gives you just a little more to work with. Here’s a link to one of mine: https://ktworkmancoms.com/2021/06/26/tanka-2/
Thanks, KT. I thought about Tanka, but I think I have to think to much. You are right I should give it a try.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Kate.
what a combination of shots and words! really nice
Thanks, Mezbah.

I love this… This is why I stopped trying to make my poetry fit into a specific type and just did my poetic flow 🖤
This was beautiful.
I often let it flow. Especially with lyrics. But the style of Haiku is short and to the point. It’s nice when I want a few words with a photo. Makes life a little more interesting and challenging. Thanks, Kristi. I’m happy you survived to let your poetry flow.
Gorgeous pics, and sweet Timkus!
Thanks, Resa. Timku is great. I like to think the 575ers are in the form of Haiku, but not actually Haiku since I’m not Japanese. Timku works.
You have your own art form!
You gave me my own art form. You are so clever.
Well, I did see Johnkus on another blog. So, I cleverly stole the idea.
Nonetheless, you deserve your own art form!!!!!! So there!!!!!
Verses and pictures both amazing
Thanks, Mezbah.
❤
Thanks, Dilranga.
Wow…
Thanks, Gordomac.
