When the sun sets with those beautiful colors, it is truly awesome. Your haiku reflects the serenity of those moments. Nicely composed. Much luck in the contest. Marilyn

This is a very lovely haiku, well composed.
The first two lines use vivid concrete imagery and the lines are indeed grammatically connected, as required.
You "kigo", or seasonal reference, is quite obvious--summer.
The word "linger" is a strong verb choice to help capture the moment.
Your alliterative satori is not only a good observation of the poem as a whole, it's also the type of 'Ah-ha'! moment that make haiku so very popular.
Great work!

A very clever poem. This should do well in the contest. Contests are not easy to win, but they are a lot of fun to enter. I usually don't do well, but I don't let that stop me.

This is a beautiful and vivid nature poem about a lingering sunset. You have a nice use of S alliteration and consonance, creating a smooth read. Thank you for sharing this sunny haiku. I wish you success in the contest.
