Shy moon... That captures it. Robert says there should be an anthology of moon poems. This one should be in it.

Moon is such a beauty to observe. Specially in fall. It ignites our creativity and sense of beauty and appreciation for Nature like nothing else.

Shy moon hides behind the veil of clouds.It evokes the image of a pretty lady looking prettier with tint of shyness on her cheeks. A lovely poetic writing.

The moon looks shy projects a beautiful image. The poets in India have hundred descriptions given to the moon. The shy moon is one of them. The dancers enact them with 'Mudras' and expressions. An elegant Senryu!

thank you, geeta! i was unaware of the description in indian culture, but it reaffirms for me the idea of archetypes which surely spring from our shared human experience. -glen

A shy moon- - - perfect! Shyness peeks, slips behind things to hide themselves from view, manage to be more lovely than boldness. Excellent word choice. Excellent Senryu.10
