Hi Mike,
I live in the paradise of the magic sunset... and yes, our Creator sure knows how to paint a scene of everything coming together for wonderment and awe.

Truly perfect visual to add colour to the palette you created with ten beautiful words... wonderfully composed and well deserved win... congrats brother.

Yes, of course this should have the extra exceptional golden additive... the sentiment is here, just not the arsenal... sorry.

With our thoughts we create,
majestic bliss,
James.

My vote because it is stylishly done.
I love the idea of God rinsing his brush.
Nicely done, I don't know why but I have a hard time with these.
Love the dramatic picture to go with it.

You're pretty good with these....the imagery in the poem by itself is nicely set and the picture really just adds to it. Did you see the picture and then write the poem or vice versa? I'm guessing you saw the photo and it inspired you from there.

    No, I wrote it first and then spent forever finding a picture. I'm not an expert at these, but I come up with a decent one here and there. Thanks, mikey

This is a lovely haiku about the sunset. Many time as I see the sunrises or the sunsets, I marvel at the beauty with which God paints the skies. Blessings, Patricia

This is a lovely haiku Mikey. I can just see God swirling his paint brush and the resulting sunset. It's a wonderfully creative image to juxtapose with the phrase"turning day into night" to describe the sunset. I enjoyed! And, good luck to you in the contest with an excellent entry. Sue

Lovely Sunset Haiku; good luck in the contest. Beautiful presentation from photo to clever wording to color scheme. Photo especially makes a statement and enhances your last line in your Haiku. Thanks for sharing and keep 'em coming, Deb

I really like the idea of the Master artist "turning day into night". Your use of alliteration in the satori line is very effective as well. The picture you chose and your presentation are perfect complements to your words. Best wishes to us both in this contest- Joan
