Saturday Haiku: River Sunset

On this holiday weekend, here is a favorite from my archives...

sometimes a river

encompasses all the world

as the sun goes down

Saturday Haiku: Homing

flocks find their way home

with the autumn sun setting

upon fallow fields

Saturday Haiku: Sunset

Here's another one from my archives

With the setting sun

     comes the call for inward sight

to pierce dark corners

Saturday Haiku: Sunset Calm

My high school algebra teacher used to say, "Show me your work." So today I decided to show you my work as I tried to come up with this week's haiku:

Li River resting

in Guilin’s ancient valley

with a sunset calm

with a sunset calm

the river valley resting

from the summer heat

sunset calm

river valley rests

summer settles

summer settles

as the river rests

in sunset calm

Saturday Haiku: Sunlit Sky

a world divided

may just be a sunlit sky

from two points of view

Saturday Haiku: Darkness and Light

 

we live in that sphere

that juggles darkness and light –

finds beauty in both

Saturday Haiku: By the Waters

          With the setting sun, 

              light goes down on the water. 

              Cattails gladly rest.
