Wow, I don't know how you do it! Over a dollar's promotion for a small poem? I'm glad of it because it's a pleasure to read your work anyway, but man, I sure can't keep up with some of you!

I LOVED your play on words in this - very punny. (LOL) Nicely done. Good luck in the contest!

This piece made me smile; your words along with the artwork you selected really tell a cute story; one must smile or laugh after reading this; thanks for sharing.

Funny phases is an excellent use of words, it shows the strength and diversity of the moon. Excellent haiku form that captures the serenity and feel of the reflection of the moon on the water.

I guess as the water moves, the moonlight's reflections would change, creating different phases.
Nice 'l' consonance in lines one and two.

Good luck in the contest.

Your striking picture choice parallels the poem well. I enjoyed your interpretation of the prompt and play on "funny faces"/"phases of the moon". Cheers and best wishes in the 5-7-5 contest- Joan

Hi Gypsy :) Nice 5 7 5 contest entry. That's a lovely picture. All your syllables are in the right places. I can picture the moonlight reflecting on the water. I don't think of it as funny. I guess I think of it as reflective, peaceful, shining or twinkling. I like the moon phases, though. Good luck in the contest.

You know, if you intended the play on words with "phases"/faces, it might make the poem stronger to substitute the word "fanciful" for "beautiful." Just a thought...
