Terrific. And it wouldn’t surprise me if racoons really worship the moon. Just because they can’t talk about them doesn’t mean they don’t have spiritual feelings. IMHO bringing out such possibilities is one of the things haiku do best, and your’s captures it perfectly.

Racoons always wash their food…image of racoon bowing head at river’s edge in the moonlight. Love your haiku and your winter wonderland blog!

Ever since I read “Rascal” by Sterling North years ago, I have been fond of racoons. Your haiku reinforces that fondness.
