Illuminating. The artwork goes well with this haiku. I love the final line crickets symphony. It adds another dimension that is quite unexpected. Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed your moon haiku. Good job on the syllable count. Good touch of alliteration. The artwork is great, but your poem would stand alone.
Good job and best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Dawn Munro
What a clever haiku! The "dark, dried fields" with the moon as avenger. Your poem has all the requirements of a flawless haiku - the kigo ("harvest"), the kire (a perfect cutting line) and a satori that speaks volumes. I loved it!
addition:
Okay, so I see you changed the satori - I like this one even better, and it changes the whole ambiance of the poem - the moon is no longer an avenger - nicely done

Comment from His Grayness
I'm starting to get more interested in Haiku and found this one a bit more complex and interesting. I enjoyed it and will continue to study! HIS GRAYNESS and many thanks to this author for an interesting experience.

Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
A good haiku, although I think I would remove 'that' from the first line. It is unnecessary, and to me, actually slows done the interconnectedness of the first two lines. Moon illuminates is a better flow from one line to the next. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

Thank you Debbie I appreciate your review. :) I think so too but I had the CEC tell me that the lines have to be connected grammaticaly. I am afriad the may not look like their are connected, but I will take a look.
Comment from Linda Kay
I am impressed with haiku because it is hard to me to create an image in so few words. I liked the contrast between the bright, upbeat moon, and the dark, sad burnt field. It also has an ending of hope with "try again"

Comment from Julia.
The concept of this poem is great: the moon looming of dry fields, perhaps harvested fields. I do think that you could remove "that" from the first line as it adds nothing to the meaning of the poem.
My only other suggestion--and most people probably won't notice this; I do only because I come from farming stock on one side of my family--is that most farmers burn their fields in spring--to kill bugs and weeds and encourage growth. A harvest moon is a fall moon. So the combination of a fall moon and burning fields seems a bit incongruous.
Good luck in the contest.
