Senryu

Senryu 

As sun pales 
The old town looks haggard 
Till dawn 


Senryu 
Streetlamps sadly knows
They only play stand-in roles   
The sun is the star. 

Senryu 
When sun takes a break 
Crossly hides behind a cloud 
The day is murky

Don't even bring up judges (yes I know you didn't). I am soured on them.
