small full point looms large
large white circle harvest moon
lingers unnoticed
atalnod llawn llwm
lloer llawn gynhaeaf ni byth

During September’s full moon I was at the Society for Editors and Proofreaders’ annual conference in the middle of brightly street-lit Birmingham. Two colleagues who produce The Editing Podcast set a haiku-writing competition for delegates. These were my efforts. They are my first attempts at haiku. The Welsh version is not a translation of the English, but it conveys the same idea.
