Here I share a piece from a poetess  titled: I Try to Image The New Moon.

Read her here: http://enerihot.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/i-try-to-imagine-the-new-moon/

The air, a washed pale blue,

The boat, powered by two oars,
The lopsidedness as you swung
left and right.

I try to imagine the new moon.

Before breakfast, my son made
seafood pasta, and somewhere
between the taste of scallops
& fusilli, the air was hinged
with a door & a gorgeous double
rainbow, against the blue.

Somewhere, a bird,
a different sky, a boat
of unconditional love.

My Response in Haiku:

Is that all there is?

Everything is possible!

Smiles, no tiptoe steps.
