Today is also ending--

the same glint of moon

Unfortunately as moon is an autumn kigo, it should go into the Autumn section.

If you want it to say now in Winter, then you need to use winter moon, or another name for a winter moon.

There are plenty of websites for obtaining a folklore name for the moon in winter though. ;-)

..i like it too, Beatrice..but i just had a revelation of sorts..that is: to remove "of" of
Line 3, making it:

the same glint moon

..probably you won't like it or
wish to use it..but i offer it, here, now, cause it suddenly
struck me as appealing..>>spiros

Hi Spiros, sounds good, and I actually had a third version for that line: 'glint of the same moon' But I like your too!
