Your picture selection reiterates "amber twilight" perfectly. I admired the emotion you conveyed in this tiny work. Sighs- Joan

Hi Gypsy, this is quite deep and leaves the reader wondering if it is about the end of a relationship or the end of a season. The colours are vibrant like Autumn and it has a soulful feeling I like the Satori uncertainty as it could go either way. Well done Cheers Christineð???ð??¢

Hi Gypsy,
First, this is another excellent visual presentation. Your photo, font, all of the colors scream Autumn! are genuinely attractive. Second, your haiku syllable counts of 4 6 4 and a total of 14 syllables adhere to the traditional format of short/long/short haiku form.

Your first two lines display a clear grammatical connection and reveal detailed imagery. The haiku is a current observation of a moment in time captured in nature. You show discipline with good choices of words and with a total word count of 6, you display excellent use in word economy.

Your satori is a brief summarization of the phrases which comes in the two earlier lines before it. I especially like that your satori is only one word. This is an exceptionally well-written haiku.

Blessings,
Grasshopper2

Thanks for sharing another of your fine poems. I'm still a little intimidated about trying to join in and write an haiku, but I read a number of them every day and have come to enjoy them very much. Your presentation information explains why you are the teacher. Great job. :-)

We leave a loved one for the unknown, and can spend only a brief moment wondering what to expect. All the while we cannot avoid viewing the impressive natural world around us.

Good presentation. Your first two lines are connected. Autumn is clearly your seasonal reference.syllables are correct. This has a thoughtful quality. Thank you for sharing your work

I like this--the somber tone, autumn as a time of departure not only of a season and long days, but in this case of a relationship. It is uncertain whether or not the two will meet in spring.

Thank you for sharing your excellent haiku.

Your haiku is very thought provoking.

"amber twilight" - the colour of the time of evening or a period of time in life
"permeates our good-bye" - the time of evening good-bye was said, was the good-bye somehow saddened?
"uncertainty" - kind of speaks for itself but maybe not.

There are layered meanings in this haiku and it is subject to much interpretation by the reader.
Well done

    This one is meant to make you ponder and it doesn't have any meaning specifically.

The fear of uncertainty fused with an amber twilight... Nice! Loved your choice of artwork.

    Hey ya, darlin',

    All you do is copy and paste to the book. Change the title and you are good to go. The challenges go by topics. When is your haiku about? Send me a PM.
