The Moon On My laps













a night so starry
looking for the moon - it has
fallen on my laps

** "A moon falling on the laps" is a  Malaysian saying which literally means getting something very precious or meaningful which one really expects. For the first time, I am using the saying in my Haiku.

    To have the Moon a-falling on my lap seems so great a thing!

    That Selena chooses to sit on my lap and concedes the most arcane desire sitting deep into the heart is the most incredible dream becoming reality.

    There is a scent of glory permeating the haiku!

    Thank you for so such a beautiful thought!

      Indeed it is a great thing. Not many of us are lucky enough. :) It's really incredible when dreams become reality. Some of my dreams are just dreams! :)

      Thank you so much for your beautiful comments, Od. They mean a lot! :)

    first of all.. I must say that I really love trees and the one on the picture is really awesome..

    also, I agree with inspector saahab.. introduce more of malay sayings in the world.. it's like sharing not just a piece of you but a piece of your country :)

    now with the haiku... nothing beats the feeling of getting what you want...

      Yup, it's exactly like what you said. sometimes words aren't enough to express it.
