Silver moon alone
Drifting ‘pon somber canvas
Sunlight caressed orb


Myriad stars shine
Within today’s shadowed vault
Light of yesteryear

These are beautiful pieces, my friend. You should write haikus more often. Abandon the realm of prose!

I certainly hope this will not be your last. I like!

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

What beautiful haikus Abe!  You used space, which makes it all the more beautiful.  I loved your images.  Wonderful Job my friend!

This is a sweet poem, Abe!  It's very cool, and I like it a lot.  I fail to see the evidence that you are a terrible poet.  Write more Haikus!
