Haiku - Evening

One Deep Breath this week posted the most beautiful photo as our prompt (and new header) along with the word, evening. Stop by their site to see the photo and the accompanying haiku. It is well worth your time, and you will tumble on links to other wonderful haiku.

Yellow refuses
to give way to maudlin gray
Orange joins the fight

Evening creeps up
folds of rolling thunder
hide its path of stealth

    Fantastic photos — beautiful light and contrast. Really nice haiku, the first being my favorite — I love the colors and the way they fight. Very clever! And in the second haiku, I love the image of the evening creeping.

    I love the yellow refusing to give way, so true of summer evenings.

    Beautiful photos and well-matched haiku! I really like the patterns and play of light on clouds, and your photos captured some neat examples.

    That first one could be about my moods these days. :-) Nice haiku, photos, too.
