    Your haiku, ‘Summer Full Moon’, is wonderfully evocative! The words you chose paint such a vivid image of a tranquil summer night. You've masterfully followed the traditional haiku structure of 5-7-5 syllables which makes the poem seem rhythmical. The clearness of the language used allows for a simple yet meaningful imagery to be presented. Well done!

    As for improvements, you might consider incorporating more contrasting or opposing images in your haiku. The technique of juxtaposition is a common one in haiku and can add depth and resonance. For example, you might set the stillness of the full moon against the lively chirping of the crickets. Also, try to experiment more with sensory details such as smell or touch to add richness to your language and helps readers to immerse themselves more fully in the scene. Happy writing!
