Parhelion

Spectrum of colors,
Shards of light illuminates—
Sundogs in the sky.

Good use of alliteration and imagery for a creative view. I hope you are publishing some of these gems elsewhere for others outside The Soup to enjoy. Thank you for choosing my poem as one of your contest winners. I am honored. Have a good day! Karen

I love your vividly descriptive words in this haiku. I want to let you know that I fixed my contest entry - didn't realize I'd somehow missed the theme. I removed the other entry and submitted a new one. Hopefully I was on track this time. I blame either early senior moments or my new progressive lens glasses that I'm not used to yet as the reason I missed the "Reflections" theme. lol Sorry about that...
