A lune rengay, perhaps we should call it a lune-gay


under the full moon
at the dance,
challenged, he bristled

the gatecrashers pushed him hard
a wild punch struck his date's face

shredding the white dress
she transformed
who knew they were real

growling was enough
the boys fled
leaving small puddles

the photographs showed two wolves
shreds of fabric in their fur

tangled in morning
venison
on their human tongues


Definition: consists of six stanzas with the following line lengths in syllables:

5-3-5
7-7
5-3-5
5-3-5
7-7
5-3-5

Each three-line stanza should have two lines that are directly connected to one another, separated by a break from the third line, as in traditional haiku. Should have something to do with the moon, or moons, or satellites in the broadest sense. Modeled on the well-known rengay form.
