I certainly relished your reinforcing the colors in your haiku with the extraordinary picture. I particularly liked your use of "veils" and the extra insight in the satori. Big cheers- Joan

Blessings, Gypsy;
-as a woman would wear her scarf around her neck or a veil across the her face And as it is in nature this moderate to intense red sunset overshadows like a bell upon this river of orange. These are such great dramatically and grammatically connected lines Of imagery that are definitively expressive as well as being demonstratively and vividly descriptive.
-The satori, To me, reflects the beauty of a dream of this imagery stated in the first two lines and summarizes the relativity of the conceptual theme and thus gives the aha moment of the context of this poem.
-This must be a beautiful dream of tranquility and serenity all surrounded by orange feeling.
-Thanks for sharing, gypsy, and take care and have a good one.
Alex

This is a beautifully executed haiku. The imagery is vivid and seamlessly connected painting a vibrant visual in the reader's mind. The satori is a serene observation of the overall scene. Nicely done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Hi GBR,
Your haiku ha the correct syllable count and the two lines connect perfectly. The satori reflects how dreamy the picture is. Who wouldn't find this dreamy and romantic. Your picture gives a warm cosy glow.

Great.

Beautiful sunset over a river to illustrate this poem that uses different shades of the color orange to express the emotion evoked by the sunset. I like the alliteration in the first line.

Keep writing.
