night-time beach.
paddling in mist the castle
wears a crescent moon

Although the word paddling throws me off, as it sounds like the castle is doing the paddling, I'm open minded enough to assume the person writing the haiku is in fact the one doing the paddling. Fine work. That image of crescent moon above the castle will be stuck in my mind for quite some time. :o)

whichever is paddling (I think you mean the moon) this is exquisite. I wonder if night-time beach paddle would work too, for a first line? Then it won't matter who's the subject?
