Darkened trees,
branches reach upwards,
mottled rose
lights the sky,
snow-laden billows ascend
relieving my gloom.

Thank you 🙂 Sunrise and sunset are main sources of colour in the winter around here.

That must mean you get clear skies. It’s pretty murky here.

Ironically I find that the colours that attract my attention are interlaced with clouds — the clouds sort of provide a canvas.

Thank you. I am realizing that the best sunsets around here have clouds–almost acts as a canvas for the sun’s colours.

Beautiful and very poignant with ‘my gloom’ instead of ‘the gloom’. Lovely.

Yes the 3’s 5’s and one 7 make it very much like haiku — I believe it is a relatively modern form probably inspired by haiku syllable structure.
