Two Haiku and Fiery Sunset

For One Deep Breath prompt: 'Closeness'


Four alarm sunset
Hugging tree-pocked mountainside
Flashes unity

clutch of local crones
brown bag Monday at old park
Recall third grade days

You inspired me with 'four alarm sunset'. And the second accompanies the prompt vividly.

I really like your take on the prompt in the first poem (beautiful photo, by the way). The second poem also illustrates the prompt very well.

As a writer, my favourite is the four-alarm reference. Well done.

Don't you just love sunsets like that? It makes you want to tell someone about it. And you did!

sunrise & sunset are my favorite times of the day...you have captured the closeness of night & day and the closeness of sharing the moment so well!

Both are wonderful but the second has pzazz (not got a clue how to spell that puppy and too rushed to check).

four alarm sunset... i had to check to see if you were near the california fires... (an amazing photo btw)

I also immediately thought of the Cali fires, and for a moment felt dread that the beautiful sunset was flames...I'm so glad I was mistaken. Beautifuly poetry and photo, as always!

I love all your poetry... with these two the imagery drew me in and held me. "Flashes unity" -- Great line :)

That photo is amazing! I love the first line and the last line in this poem the best. The first is intense and vivid; the last bitterseet and nostaglic.
