Untimely sunsests

© C.L.R. 2014
Under sun kissed skies
she gasps at lavish blossoms
nature`s final act

sodden  sense of sadness
inhales it all with wonder

I missed the sun
untimely sunsets tell a tale
announcing autumn

  3. Departing Summer ... caught in a nice haiku and with a great photo ... This style of writing looks somewhat like Tan Renga, I belief that Jules uses this way of writing also.

    1. I like using this sometimes to complete a thought or challenge myself with the second part which is a break...I forget where I learned this but I often find it challenging.

    1. What saddens me is not having my break on time to see the sunsets at my dinner soon...but I do have a 30 mins one at 5 ish...when the sun starts setting, I sometimes ask permission to run up to the roof.
