huntress
beneath the fiery moon
with a nightly sheen
~
moon goddess
sister of the sun god
ruling the sky
~
ready with her bow
ethereal goddess shoots-
echoes the cry of prey
~
at Ephesus
the virgin lady once stood
with her huntress gaze

I love this. I am experimenting with these and I am finding that it is quite an exercise in using less words to say what you mean.

Thanks.
Yes, it is hard to keep control of the words in the starting.
There is one thing to remember- a good haiku must always capture a moment or an image. I am sometimes lax in that regard but I try. 🙂
And if you want a daily exercise, I am holding a monthly day to day prompt at my haiku site- A Haiku A Day. Though only a few days are left, I’d be glad if you participate. 🙂
