One Deep Breath--"Moonstruck"

The Midnight Cafeteria

Edible, the moon
is sharp cheese or velvet broth.
Soft hope, crisp wrapper.

Yummy imagery. I've always thought that the crescent moon looked like someone took a bite out of it.

cracking cheese indeed, a cracking poem! it's a wonderful thing to consider taking a bite out the moon on the occasions it looks like a yellow round cheese - i'm wondering who was the first person to notice the similarity. velvet broth is a new one on me, i do see it now.
could you be the first?! ;o)

great haiku, cate.

I'm liking the "velvet broth." I see you're still writing stellar stuff. Just stopping by to say hi and to see what's up. Hope your summer is going well.

Hi Ally. I revisit this particular haiku because I like it so much. Then I realized I had not commented! Well, duh. Love this flavorful little piece. My cheese of choice - Brie. My soup? Thick onion soup.

that's it! we MUST meet for lunch one day this summer so i can give you a big hug for writing this beautiful beautiful poem and you talked about "It was really good. It was super cool. I liked it because...it made me feel happy" in the other post...well that's just how this one makes me feel :-)
(personally, i'll take inarticulate unbridled enthusiasm anyday over fancy words without warmth...hope you like them too :-)
