Tuesday, 6 January, 2007The prompt for One Deep Breath:
Week 36 - Dusk/ Twilight
Prompt: This week's focus is on the time of day when the sun is beginning to set and when much of the world begins to settle in for a rest.

Day slides out of sight.
Goodbye to one hemisphere,
Good'ay down under.
In a bath of gold
Last light beckons us westward.
Silver lights the dark.
Dusk signals day's end.
Beams of light linger transiently.
Kaleidoscope sky.

'In a bath of gold
Last light beckons us westward.'
That perfectly describes mty walk home this evening, into the sunset...
This was wonderful, Rel! I love the first stanza! We sometimes forget that there is a down under!
Wonderful haiku. I feel like chasing the sun. :)
Enjoyed them all but that FIRST one! A big ahhhh sighed its way across my desk.
Beautiful images created by the haiku - and a wonderful photograph too, such a wonderful rich tapestry of colour.
Beautiful pic and poem Rel. I always think of evenings as a time when people are home in their warm cozy houses, in their joggers or whatever is comfy, and getting something tasty for dinner, then watching a little tv or reading a good book or getting online. Sounds like a good evening aye?
I especially like the first haiku, Rel - and the photo! Great job. (See, you're really getting good at haiku and there was a time you wondered). :) xo
Nice. I love the photo and the poem. They're perfect together.
Rel........A reminder that the new day is only moment away and that it brings with it such hope!
Your poem and photo "Wonderful"
Lee-ann
I can see the many sunsets- Kaleidoscoping into one. Very nice!
Love the kaleidoscoping sunsets!
These are all wonderful, and the photo is amazing!
Thanks for sharing your words and thoughts from the heart with us, Rel...wonderful. :)
Oh Rel, that picture is just perfect for the words you wrote...simply breathtaking! Hugs xox
i especially like the second verse because of the poetic conflict between gold and silver.
in response to the picture:
though vibrant at first
colors washing out to gray
upon dusk's canvas
Absolutely lovely haiku!
Yes we were on the same wavelenght for a while! :-) Lovely haikus.
What a beautiful dusk photograph, Rel. I presume it's your effort?
Gidday to you too mate!
Great sunset. I like the idea of sunset in one place, sunrise in another - a mirror image that captures that special something about this wonderful planet of ours.
Light beckons us westward-love that. All are good, though.
These are all great but the first is my favorite. What a unique view!
"Day slides out of sight"..lovely.
Hey! Come on, Rel! Wake up! It's already half way through another day down here!
Beautiful haiku, beautiful photo.
Nice contribution.
