Hi everyone,
Dana, Rose and I attended the Seattle Japanese Garden Moon Viewing on Saturday, September 6th, 2025.
(Original announcement here: https://www.seattlejapanesegarden.org/events-calendar/2025/9/6/moon-viewing)
I took some great photos!
We also took part in the Haiku writing contest. I wrote two haiku:
smoke filled sky -
a blood orange moon
watches with a baleful eye
summer sun fades -
moonrise across the pond
our lanterns guide the way
You may notice that these haiku do not follow the 5 - 7 - 5 rule. Modern haiku are less formal in English.
This year - I came in Second Place on Saturday!!! It was the "smoke filled sky" haiku.
Full contest results are here: https://www.seattlejapanesegarden.org/blog/2025/9/18/moon-viewing-haiku
Dana, Rose and I had a great time. Looking forward to next year!
Cheers,
Paul
