Notes About The Poem

Twilight of the Bluejay

sapphire on sapphire
at the rise of jewelled night
when the stars flash fire

mysterious quest
like the wide-eyed owl spying
as beauty's fading

in the vast deep blue
the scarlet sun is sinking
like a cherry bomb

Wonderful images - "cherry bomb" - love the contrast between red and "vast deep blue," morning and night; twilight and dawn. Beautifully crafted Evelyn. I really enjoyed the intricate steps of the words in your haiku string! Each one could stand on its own. Well done!
