Is that the spring breeze
or the nightingale's soft song?
Beneath the full moon-
the purple iris trembles;
ripples spread across the pond.

Very nice!  I admit Waka is not a form I have heard of.  Please shoot me an email and tell me about it.

ripples on the pond
the full moon blinking
the birds fade with the sunset
silent again until morning

the birds fade with the sunset

Ahh yes!

Hovering,
above the clouds
the white moon-
sheds its silent light
on the wind-rippled Charles.... ~P
