Isn't this the stuff from which poems are made?http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap021122.html

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Here's my stab:

Leonid Slips by Moon

Whispers upon the water
Somewhere within a dream

Mists in silence hover
Just beyond the stream

Beneath the shrubbery branches
The silence softly broken

A tiny family listens
At trickles gently spoken

Wavelets commence rippling
While lapping at the shore

Their origin seems a secret
As darkness shrouds the moor.

A very good interpretation of Suddeth's image.

Smooth, easy reading.

Thanks, Bluesy

I hadn't even noticed that the word haiku was in the explanation of the photo; here's another attempt though I can't decide if it's an haiku or a senyru

glimmer brightens faith
mist grips enigma hard, fast
emotions stir hope
