Definitely a wonderful picture, Gypsy. Your words were indeed special to me because they showed that that the meditative monk was reflective. Blessed be n hugs!

Hi Gypsy, Once again, your play on words is fantastic. I especially liked:

sits by a lake full of moon --
reflecting
(Good imagery)

Well chosen artwork. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

-Lovely artwork and nice presentation, Gypsy.
-A well written haiku with a good topic.
-Good alliteration and description of the monk.
-A very good image in line two with
"lake full of moon."
-A good satori line that links both together well.
-Well done!

I like the description of "lake full of moon." And it is a full moon that is reflected in the lake. And the meditating monk is also "reflecting." Great choice of words!

    Yes, you got it. I love zen haiku. I like that kind of satori. It doesn't always happen.

Another fine poem, Gypsy----and I like the descptive liberty taken with both the lines, 'lake full of moon," and 'Reflecting." Very creative and colorful turn of phrases!

Thank you for sharing this Haiku with us. I enjoyed reading and I could envision the monk meditation under a full moon. I'm sure the moon assisted him with his thoughts.

Yes, I understand the idea of reflecting by a Moonlite lake. I often go on nature walks and reflect on the singing of the birds and the smell of the trees. I get a lot of inspiration from my nature walks. This is an excellent Haiku and you know better than anyone how to do them.
Thanks for sharing and for letting me share.
Jesse

"Meditative Monk"
Written in Haiku follows the
5-7-5 guidelines correctly.
The picture accents the font.
Well written rich in theme and imagery..
No Grammar Issues and flows well
