August full moon
glinting in the river
thick with sturgeon
Full moon rising
through the August haze–
red, mysterious

Editor’s note: There was a full red lunar eclipse last year in August. This year there will be a partial red eclipse on October 28, 2023. Be alert for astronomical announcements this year. Paul Goldfinger Blogfinger.net. Ocean Grove, NJ
Many thanks to George Held for mooning us. We love his haiku.
