Harvest Moon Haiku

Today is the Harvest Moon where people in Japan drink sake and read haiku (5-7-5) they’ve composed under the moonlight.
I on the other hand stayed at home, drank a beer and came up with this:
September full moon
Summertime has now ended
About bloody time
Any other offerings?

in singapore, we call it the Mooncake festival - based on a legendary myth of a seperated couple (between an mortal & rabbit spirit?).. i ain’t even sure myself, but we eat tons of mooncakes here, sip chinese tea & kids play with lanterns.
I just finished reading all the entries on your blog

I looked at the moon
My eyes hurt cos it was bright
Whoops it was the sun
