Sun Tinged [Haiku]

mountain snow:
tinged orange
by sunrise.

“Daybreak” by John Donne [w/ Audio]

STAY, O sweet, and do not rise!
The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not: it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part.
Stay! or else my joys will die
And perish in their infancy.

Watcher [Haiku]

on pagoda railing
to view sunrise.

Just the Tips [Senryū]

high mountains:
sunrise hits snowcaps only;
in darkness & don't know it.

DAILY PHOTO: Ambiguous Hour, Laajalahti

Is it sunset? Sunrise? Both? Neither? It was like this for an hour or so when I was in Finland during the Summer. Never getting fully dark.

Post-Harvest Mars [Haiku]

hazy valley:
stubble fire smoke glows like
a Martian landscape.

Modest Sun [Haiku]

rising sun looms
at first sight; but shrinks
on second glance.
