With warm thanks to Terri Hale French for her invitation to create haiku incorporating a song title.
The song that inspired my haiku was The Whole of the Moon by The Waterboys:
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday and a peaceful rest of the week,
with love from Xenia xxx

The Whole of the Moon came on my music shuffle when I was driving the other day and now I can’t stop singing it! (I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon) ❤

A particularly apropo poem and images as we celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival this weekend: I will eat mooncakes, sip tea, contemplate the moon and think of your cherry blossom moon.
