day’s end
a halo crowns
the western spruce

afterglow
day fades
to painted embers of light
a chorus of birds
:
in-between time
under dusk’s solar lamp
rabbits scamper
:
out of sight
basking in an afterglow
the setting sun

Haiku in response to Haikai Challenge #43 Afterglow
a fusion haiku featuring Ozaki Hosai
gazing from the shore
my feelings of want dissolve
with the dying light

This haiku is inspired by two haiku of Ozaki Hosai (1885-1926) who was part of the free haiku movement in Japan:
on the field
where evening has died out,
my footsteps
~
the heart
that seeks something
I release to the sea

In response to Carpe Diem Crossroads #9: Ozaki Hosai’s ‘on the field’
delayed appearance
now it comes out,
as it slinks lower
in the west
~
A dreary day ended with blazing sunset.
