(I woke up for what I thought was no reason last night and then realized that I must have been wakened by the full moon, which seemed to be taking up most of my window. It reminded me of one night in September 1994 when I also woke for what seemed like no reason, except that when I stood up my water broke and fourteen hours later my son was born. So that was a good reason to wake up.)
I was walking across the street in the bazaar twenty minutes ago. And i looked up with no intention at all and saw the full moon sitting right over a shop fat and full. It was a sight to savor and then to come home and read your wonderful haiku .
fourteen years apart lines of a haiku
My mother tells me its Buddha Poornima today.
Oh, wonderful experience, aditya! I can just imagine that fat full moon.
Thanks for the compliment. I also like your haiku a lot, it’s mysterious and beautiful.
Lovely haiku!
Thanks much, Conrad.
