man-made toxic clouds
obscure city's gray moonrise
smog chokes baby's crib

Recognized

Author Notes
I challenged myself to rewrite a haiku I wrote forty-one years ago. Retaining my idea of a smog-obscured moon, I expanded to comment on the toxic smog that chokes babies in their cribs in Beijing today.

I thank tmeighan for use of use of "Smoke and Mirrors" photo.
