Another Old Haiku

Night's blackness obscures
our very limited view.
Does dawn surprise us?

An interesting haiku. Give the reader words to make one think. Take care, Jancarl I understand it all.

Lines one and two are very nice but drop the caps and punc. You actually have a double negative I just notice i lines 1 and 2. If you obscure a limited view you would actually make the view better. Just a thought. You may like to reword. I like the premis. Line three is intellectualizing, when you should be describing what the dawn IS doing. Or rather what is happening as dawn approaches.
