Gypsy,
Your coloring scheme and artwork really elevate the feeling one gets from reading your few words. It is a spectacular scene when you see the moon reflecting on any body of water.
Thanks for this post.

Comment from Gloria ....
Oh I like this one very much because of the layering. The moon could be the meditative monk, and of course a monk could be as well.
Reflecting is the perfect word choice for this delightful modern haiku.
Much enjoyed. :))

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
How creative, "a lake full of moon" There is something about the moon, especially if reflected on a lake, that simply inspires and supports. It's beautiful.
Great thoughts Gypsy.

Comment from AP Apgar
Excellent modern winter haiku poem! Excellent picture presentation as well- this poem represents (to me) a good example of the latitude afforded in Modern haiku- in the expanded ability to use words - 'sits by a lake full of moon' - to develop a word picture in English- not so easily done in classic haiku- good work

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Ms. Gypsy this is just a well-conceived and well-written haiku. The presentation is stunning. I love how you embed a smaller complimentary image to the larger visual. I must learn this technique. I had 2 sixes left, and you for sure deserved one of them. Blessings!

I can see where you get your clever posts are coming from, with those clever ambiguities and abstractions, another very clever one, language is full of imagery. If one knows how to use it. Beautifully written, blessings Roy
