Songs of a Setting Sun

dusk’s curtain ends
a bird’s melody
what of your legacy

tick tock amends
near the sum of days
are you still in old ways

for what transcends
your last setting sun
have you left it undone

Lovely imagery and a clever write. I like how each individual 'ku stands alone but together form a cohesive whole. Regards, John.

Great to have read this today. Got me some thinking to do. I'd say they are the most important questions. And I think I'd try this form.

Well done. It is difficult to create a thurough introduction in 3 lines, but you did it. Then following it up with deep inquiries. Breat job being able to say so much in such a limitted format. Great Job!!
