The moon is so mysterious and haiku evokes that feeling. The image that accompanies this is cool! Welcome back, Amanda. We missed you.

Excellent! The moon adores you and so do we!!!!

I love this! Slivers of new moons shining in the dark night sky always remind me of th slivers of chewed off fingernails. I call them fingernail moons!

Amanda... New life starts as a sliver and grows into the full moon of life. Beautiful image, my dear! It's good to read you again and welcome you back to your Gather home.

Starving, sickle and cradle are nice words to create excellent symbols. Wonderful!

Delightful, Amanda. A lovely picture.

I'd never thought of that way before, very clever!
John F Walter Jan 16, 2007, 4:47pm EST
This haiku grabs you with its preludic alliteration and its play of the negative image in the "sliver." I liked it very much, amanda.
Shelly W. Jan 16, 2007, 6:53pm EST

Amazing capture of the reduction and promise in one concept.
Love this, Amanda. I love all things lunar.
Mary H. Jan 18, 2007, 6:25pm EST

HGM Moya Goatley Jan 19, 2007, 8:35pm EST
Wonderful imagery Amanda. I love the idea of the crescent shape sliver cradling its renewal. Moya

I think of lunacy and the ways in which all phases of the moon can dictate where the emotions swing.

Love your waxing mode, my dear.
