The rules are kept. The wording is strong. The photo enhances the thought. I find nothing wrong with good Haiku . Blessings to you in the contest.

Your 5 7 5 poem has the correct line and syllable count per line. The picture is perfect. The raven like many is seduced by the beauty of the moon. Good luck in the contest.

That must be a heck of a moon to leave a raven soundless. They are known for their often, seemingly endless noisemaking. This is an excellent 5-7-5. I do have a question - is naked one syllable or two? Anyway, best of luck in the contest.

    Wow! Did I blow that one. "Naked" is two syllables, of course. Please reread as I have made a correction. Thanks you for being sharp-eyed and being generous with your stars anyway.

    it is still an excellent 5-7-5 regardless of the syllable count!

A true Haiku! Very nicely done. When I review Haikus, I now it is next to impossible to create a story in three little lines, so I look for creativity and as close to a little story as possible. You accomplished this here. I am picturing his quandary. And the end, in true Haiku style, is lovely and has a twist. Nice!
