    Amazing picture and a great descriptive haiku to match it.
    I can't believe you have only written one though.
    I was just returning the favour as you placed a lovely comment on my daughters work, and I saw your list.
    Please write more haiku.

      Thankyou for your lovely comment, one day I'll try another Haiku, I'm learning Sonnets at the moment.
      I'm pleased Erin did well in my Grandson's contest she is going to be a great poet as she matures.

    As soon as I saw the title of this, and saw that there was a picture to go with this, I said to myself, this picture is going to be beautiful. And it is-and it matches the poem amazingly. For your first haiku, for ANY haiku, this is really nicely written. Great imagery

    I love the transition that the poem holds, the title fits well. How it turns from the sun to stars is a very pretty thing-both in the sky and your poem. Thanks for sharing

    Excellent

    WOW! This is a spectacular Haiku! Your picture is absolutely beautiful. Makes me miss watching sunsets sitting on a boulder looking out to the Gulf at Galveston Island.

    PERFECT! The skill of your words and the asthetic beauty God so adequetly displays in the skies work so very well together to produce a beautiful work of art in this haiku. Haikus are my most favorite form of poetry and you make me love them even more with this beautiful example. Just PERFECT!

    I LOVE YOU Dearly,
