Thank you, Rosie – sometimes a haiku comes crawling down my sleeve, other times it’s a challenge. 🙂 The full wolf moon has been so riveting the past couple of nights…
How wonderful that your grandson is an avid moon gazer, Amy-Lynn! The moon has been one of my best friends since I was a child and it would follow our car all the way home to Connecticut from my grandparents’ house on Cape Cod. 🙂
Do you know Tracy Brooks? Imagine capturing such a beautiful sight on camera, it would be a photographers dream. Your words accompanying the photo are perfect Barbara. 🙂
Thank you, Joanne. I do not know Tracy Brooks – she is one of the amazing nature photographers working for the US Fish & Wildlife Service. The images found at its National Digital Library are in the public domain and I check in there frequently looking for photos to use here. I’ve seen documentaries showing how nature photographers get their amazing shots – they spend many hours or even days waiting and waiting for some of the animals to appear! http://digitalmedia.fws.gov/cdm/
Yes, lovely to see something you wrote, Barbara. The haiku is such a succinct but descriptive form and you have used it beautifully. I love it and have shared on my FB author page.
Thank you so much, Diane! I still remember learning about haiku in middle school and didn’t realize until recently that there are other forms beside the 5-7-5 syllable model I learned about in class…
What a brilliant picture of a wolf!
How lovely to see something written by Barbara Rogers. Congratulations on capturing the essence of the January full moon in so few words 🙂

And what a lovely full moon it is. My youngest grandson is an avid moon gazer who was just thrilled to see its progression this week.

That look in its eyes, wonderful. Beautiful photo and words.
Thank you, Hanneke! I was captivated by the look in his eyes, too.

Photo and poem – a perfect pairing!
Thank you, Laurie – so glad you enjoyed them!
Captivating photo of the wolf. I appreciate the details and colors. Wonderful job!
Thank you, Joanna! Welcome to my blog – I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the wolf photo.
Great haiku. What a regal-looking animal, so self-possessed, so aware.
Thank you, Rufina. The wolf does seem very calm, cool and collected – confident of his sacred place in the order of things…

I love this, Barbara. Great haiku, with just the right image to go with it. 🙂
Thank you, Robin! The image was definitely the inspiration for the words. 🙂
