One Deep Breath - Twilight/Dusk Haiku
Day slinks into night
quickly dressing in color
her shift now over
Pretty in pink
lavender ruffles billow
orange fire rages
Golden halos
fading light shines through the clouds
heaven calls into the night
Blues of twilight
backdrop of glittering stars
moon smiles down

These are so creative, Tammy! I love "lavender ruffles billow"
You're definitely in the groove, lady.
What can I say? A visit to your place always leaves me feeling happy. :)
I feel like I can almost see it - you described it so beautifully and with so much color! I think these are my favorite lines of your poetry yet! Thank you for such lovely words and images.
XOXO
These are so beautiful, your creative side truely shines.
These are lovely haikus.
"Day slinks into night
quickly dressing in color
her shift now over" -beautiful!
P.S.
Thanks for welcoming me back.
just beautiful :)
Yes, these are nice. The first one really grabs me. Splendid play with day and night.
this is beautiful like a glamerous old movie starlet ... love 'day slinks into night' : )
Beautiful mind candy!
Ooh, I really like the image of day changing outfits -- I picture her as a waitress or checkout person, taking off her uniform and donning an enchanting twilight-colored slip dress!
Also like the element of sound in the "golden halos" ku.
thanks!
Lovely, especially the first :)
I loved these, Tammy! It just spoke to me so well of how beautiful nature is and all the colors she shares with us throughout the day.
Oooh, I love "day slinking into night" dressing in all those gorgeous colors of twilight.
Very creative imagery for twilight!
Such a beautiful series of haiku - the last two are absolutely superb! xo
Since I am a MOON person I really LOVE that Tammy thought! The moon smiling down as I smile up to it! Just last night by it's light I saw the snow glistening and twinkling! Beauty Full! I'll be thinking of Tammy now tonight as I smile at that beauty full MOON! ;)xoxoxoxoxo, Cinda
