pioneer street signs
          gaslights became electric
sunlight never lasts

Hi James, that is a great haiku ! It's so amazing when you can use such few words to show such a big picture and capture a feeling and a sense of time. Very nice! And thank you for your comments on my poetry as well. Cynthia

James, the image of gaslights makes me long for better days. Wish I had lived when they lined the "pioneer streets." Beautiful poem! And thanks for your comments on "Unicorn." Best wishes, Carolyn

Oh how true this one is. Nice Haiku. I like the way you bring the different types of light into this one. Sort of making the reader see things in a whole new light...LOL! Smiles from Lolita
