Frank J. Tassone Haikai Challenge #104 (9/14/19): harvest moon (meigetsu) – This year’s Harvest Moon coincided with Friday the 13th. This week, write the haikai poem of your choice that states or alludes to the Harvest Moon (meigetsu).
golden is the glow
of summer’s end harvest moon
farmer’s evening light
shining upon seed’s fruit borne
harvested to feed the need
blessing spirit soul body
