Sunset Haiku

4 - Sunset Haiku -  


              water is golden
   swirling currents of bright light
           the sun heads to dip

          red, pink and orange
        take over horizon skies
            colorful day’s end
  
             lavender and blue
  blend above the dark mountains
             pallet of night fall

             there is a fireball
  bursting through the cloud cover
            sun’s grand finale

Thank you Vijay. More than one had come to me at once and then, when I couldn't decide, I just put them all in. I appreciate your kind, happy comment :)

The sunset you describe is much like the vividly-colored ones we have here, except for the mountains. Beautifully penned, Heidi. Key West holds a Sundown Celebration every night. If this is for a contest, best wishes for a win. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you very much Carolyn. Sundown celebration sounds fun. No, this isn't for a contest. I just went to sleep lastnight with some lines to haiku coming to mind and have seen some sunsets lately. I hope all is well for you :)
