I like that, despite the metaphor of "wolf moon" (which in my opinion
generally ought to be avoided in haiku). its a wonderful little poem, &
certainly in the haiku spirit. a great indication of a change that is at
once minute & yet strangely tangible. (the japanese new year used to be as
the chinese, beginning [sensibly] in spring; I wonder if the 'new year' kigo
were introduced only after the gregorian change?)
