Across the heavens
Stretches a banner of fire
Blazing summer sun
Haiku
All day I enjoyed the presence and the heat of the Summer Sun that has once again visited my area in the Pacific Northwest. I love summer and sunshine!
Last night that summer sun left us in a blaze of fiery red, orange and yellow glory, stretching across the western horizon like a banner. It was amazing to see the beauty of it!
I was able to capture it with my cell phone camera but the picture just doesn’t show the full depth of its intense color.

Praise the Lord’s name
At sunrise
And when the sun sets
Syllable Lune
Based on Psalm 113:3

Soft melodic breezes
Multicolored light streams
Glimpse of the gloaming
Haiku

Sunset
Feathers on high
Streaks of orange light
Fill the western sky before me
I gasp
Cinquain

In lavender blue
October fades with the
Waxing Crescent Moon
Haiku

Western sky’s a flame
Blazing streaks of bright orange
August’s last hurrah
Haiku
Goodbye August…I will miss your warm sunny days

Filing memories
Into the memory bank
June slowly fades
Haiku

Facing the sunset
On the road that leads to home
Anticipation
Traveling memory’s trail
Paved with past and present
Tanka

A phenomenon
The sky was speaking tonight
In soft blues and pinks
Haiku
Sunset tonight in my area must have been spectacular for as I looked out my North window I saw an amazing sky layered in blues and pinks. I can only imagine what the Western sky displayed!
