Tuesday's last embers
Wash the sky vermillion
Shepherds sleep happy

hmm, if you're gonna post more than 1 poem on the same day, you should put them all in the same thread so you don't spam others' poems ;o

I enjoyed this, the picture was nice and the following haiku captured the sweet summer satisfaction of the dwindling day.

Gives me the taste of honey in my mouth for some reason.

'Red sky at night: shepherds' delight' encapsulated in a haiku - I like it, although for some reason I initially took 'leaves' to be a noun.

Perhaps 'leave' might work just as well since there are two features that contribute to the poem's conclusion - the embers and the sky... just a thought.
