Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing!
The image above is a red blood moon in the background with a sprawling tree across it. The moon is almost completely covered. Below the moon are more trees across the bottom, but smaller.
Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, while a senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.
Then, provide a link in the comments below or ping back to this post on your blog.

Here’s mine, Susi.
The web of deceit
snares unwary innocents
the tangled souls bleed
glowing like a bride
the blushing moon smiles shyly
from behind the veil
