Twilight Haiku




enchanting
bats and cameras
the blue hour

**

blemishes
evaporate
...twilight

**

soft edges
flow in with day's close
sundown

**

watercolor sky
primed for the moon
fades to gray

**


One Single Impression offers twilight as today's prompt.

Watercolor by Sue.

wow, Sue, I really like these! A three-word haiku that says thousands! And the fractal is perfect, too!

The idea of the sky primed for the moon makes a work of art of the whole day! Wonderful stuff.

Twilight is kind stuff. Bye, bye, blemishes.

That fractal amazes me. I see faces, birds, bats, twilight...

All of these are so very well done; the second one -- how so much can be said with three words? Super.

Such economy in these, yet so vivid!

each of these is a perfect gem, but I am most intrigued by the first -- I have a clear image of bats coming out at twilight, but cameras is unexpected and unexpected is good, makes me think. Although certainly I've been known to rush for my camera at twilight!

These are all just lovely! Bats - yes! sky primed for the moon - witnessed that! What a lovely journey browsing through your post.

Your watercolor is a little scary for me. I like the water color sky verse. There is a lot to think about there, does the sun fade the sky because it is watercolor or is the moon too slow in coming?
Romantic ideas at twilight make those blemishes evaporate. Blemishes evaporate with love too!

We have a lot of bats in Austin, Texas. Between 750000 and 1.5 million bats reside underneath the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge each summer.
At twilight they all fly out. That is a prime tourist with camera place to be.

Tumblewords!

I love the watercolor--love it! And then all these words that just obviously tumble out!

Liked the last one best--primed for the moon, indeed!

Many thanks!

your pieces inspired me to think of childhood twilights

city

bus fumes sink lower
gimbels handles cut through twine:
onion hallway blinks

"watercolor sky

At one time, I saw many bats coming around twilight time to the house behind where I live.
The owner had to call in help to get them removed and the opening at his roof closed so no more could enter.
I know bats do have a good function in life...they still scare me.

Perfect takes on a perfect prompt.

... bats scare the hell out of me, don't know why, but it's probably due to tv and the vampires.
