this red moon is ours
glowing bright, feigned innocence–
white like other moons
***
the man on the moon
runs his fingers through oceans
turns tides to pass time

Susan Daniels Poetry 
You write these things so well. Very nice!
Aw, thanks, Boomie! I love the challenge of squeezing big feelings into little lines 😉
nice this is,but i’m all over the second one:)
my fav too 🙂
that’s the danger with offering two–allows for favorites 😉
I love the second one too. Love the running his fingers through the ocean.You paint unique thoughts for me … thank you
oh, thanks so much–I had another image, of the man on the moon swirling his fingers in the ocean, but could not condense it down enough, dammit… Glad you liked.
it is frustrating.. isn’t it?
yes 🙂
The man on the moon — is he a superhero? 😉
no, but he is magic 😉
indeed a fantasy what you created! lovely!
And he does it so well..isn’t it….Moon has on many occasions rested in my haiku..
I love Moon…come and see here to know why.. http://rameshsood.blogspot.in/2012/09/mom-is-with-angels.html
Oh, yes–going now!
I think the first one is good too – the red moon isn’t really red: white like other moons.
Contrasting perspectives. Perhaps a show hosted by Paige Davis, trading places with the moon person for a day.
Ohhhh–I would love to trade places…
loved this so much… I had to come back to visit the man on the moon
awwww–thanks again 😉
really liking the gravity of the second one
🙂 thanks, Bruce!
That is still weird Bruce! must admit I got somehow used to Ian though glad to shake him off 🙂
LOL, I almost said thanks to Ian instead of you just now, so I know what you mean!
Wonderfull … don’t have the words to explain why … well done. The second one is my favorite.
Thanks–mine too 😉
Like them both, very special, but the second one is my favourite too. I love the image.
thanks, Elle–I think #2 is the better of the two myself.
Oh, nice! The second is just wonerful. Love it!
Thank you Patti!
I love this! Running fingers through the ocean…so magical. Nicely done!
Susan, thank you!
Love the 2nd one … unexpected imagery!!
September Heights – Choreographing Stars
Thank you, Becca!
Love the way feigned innocence is explained by all the other words on the first haiku. The second one is wonderful!
Thanks, Hazel!
Nicely written, Susan. I love the second one
Oh, thanks much!
o! The first opened my eyes wide, the 2nd turned on the light. How I hope that man never stops turning “tides to pass the time.” Love it!
Susan, thanks so much for liking this!
Man on the moon.. how beautiful is that 🙂 Liked it. Maybe the winds he sends does turn the tide.. Lovely.
Ahhh – such gentle and stirring haiku. Nicely written snapshots for the challenge
Thanks, M!
