Moon light through window,
I bask in its cool crisp light,
It calls down to me.

Thanks for the comments!
Thanks I completely missed the 'though' 'through' thing for some reason :smt095
and yeah I think I'll change it to 'window'

Thanks again!

Firstly - this was really good. I loved the last line.
However, (and I am not really sure how to explain this) the first line

Moon light though windows
could have been about several things in several places, whereas the second line
I bask in it's cool crisp light
was definitely one place, so the perspective shifts in an unpleasant way. I think just a small alteration to the first line so it sounds like one place or one window.
The first replier picked out all the details like 'though' and 'through' - so there's not much else to say except - well done! I particularly like 'crisp' as a description of the moonlight. :D

This was good. I liked the imagery and the haiku-ness (let's pretend that's a word...) of it. Just a few little nit-picks I have. First, I think moonlight is one word. Also, "it's" should be "its", and I think that in the first line "though" is supposed to be "through". In the second line, try to find a synonym for light. You used it just in the first line, so it sounds kind of repetitive. Other than that, good job.
