more honest in the moonlight
the sun changes you

I love this haiku. I love thinking about purple surrounded by the night. This haiku is such a beautiful image and atmosphere and the feeling of it is also so strong, in a way that I can’t quite put into words. But very magical.

I like what you’ve done here. Usually, people think of the harsh light of morning as something that reveals the truth. Here, though, you’ve flip flopped that to make moonlight the truth light. Nice.

I wonder if the garden is only purple in the moonlight?

This was my very first haiku and I have always loved it.
Sarah–I’ve been wondering that for years.
