Writing a Haiku can be challenging, as it has to be captivating and send its message across in only 3 lines. However, I must comment on it's structure, which falls 7 syllables short of the traditional 17 syllable format of a Haiku( it's usually 5, 7 5 for each line respectively). I admire your attempt, and indeed, although your theme may be ambiguous,this could be advantageous, as it leaves room for interpretation. I think your poem relates how night time, darkness and full moons have negative and grave associations " Death is near", especially the latter, which is legendary for bringing out madness in people, and animals, particularly wolfs and dogs. The idea of a spider feeding ( on an insect perhaps) adds to the overall gruesome image and mood the poem portrays.
