CD: O. Mabson Southard's "Releases the Moon"

Carpe Diem Special #56






We are to write a haiku in the same tone and spirit as this one written by O. Mabson Southard:




In the garden pool,
dark and still, a steppingstone 

releases the moon.





My inspired haiku:


a croaking bullfrog
in the moonlit garden pool
singing to no one

  2. No one but himself... sweet and a very calm environment! I wish I was that bullfrog.

  3. What is it that makes the moon need a bullfrog? Love the pairing, Maggie, and the aloneness.
