Haiku Series - Four

mr ghost moon
he smirks at my reflectionΒ 
through a small windowΒ 

sleeping winterΒ 
spring dreams of summer
until fall awakensΒ 

waters rise
and loud screamsΒ flood
the valley

dancing in the woods
every leaf falls, red for today,
empty tomorrowΒ

But a seed falls
and there is a tomorrow

Not if no one is there to see it. The people dancing are symbolised through the red leaves, once they have all fallen. It means that everyone has left. So by the next day there are no leaves nor dancers just an empty tree.

Thanks. I didn't know this "hidden" meaning :)

Welcome, I like putting hidden symbolism in sometimes, to encourage people to think deeply and not just take things at face value.

I don't agree meaning is hidden. It takes perspective and intuition. I love the poems that deserve good analysis!

Most poets would describe Moon as a female
Yet you think it's male
This is unusual

To me, ( before NASA ruined it), the face that you could see on the moon looked maleΒ

Love that you have a prepared answer for this, the nuance in brackets made me giggle.
