Moonlight on hot skin:
Elusive lover's passion.
I watch in shadow.
I'd comment on this one, except the comment would soon be longer than the actual haiku itself, kinda like explaining a joke. If I had to explain it, it would lose its impact.

It's amazing what so few words can convey, when the experience is common to both writer and reader. I like how you don't fart around with something delicate. You go for the throat emotionally.

Also, on first reading I saw:

Moonlight on hot skin:
Elusive lover's pattern.
I watch the shadows.


Different, but not hitting as hard.

Well done Russ. I take it you needed a break from the book you've been writing.

BTW. Not a morel in sight here, but last night I dreamed that you were showing me your haul, and you has a few that must have been close to two feet tall. hahaha
