I too like Haiku. My wife Eileen showed me how. Your's paints the exact picture that I have in my mind and have captured on film off my back deck. Well done. Patrick
Like Karen said, there are six syllables in the first line, but you can eliminate the word 'shines' and the effect would be the same and bring the syllable cound back to five. It takes a few tries to get Haiku down, I rmember my own struggles with it.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
Inspirational poetry, written from the heart and soul. Verses that are well-suited for reading on a rainy day and that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
