The sun, shining now
indicative of a fine
Vernal Equinox

that seems to bring hope;
at least a semblance of hope
to a bleak wasteland

of a sad mind's eye
that wishes to close itself
& hide from vistas

of bleakly sterile
landscapes of moribund pain
& empty horror,

casts the rune of joy
so that my mind can open
up to the daybreak

with new horizons
that will stretch out before me.
Will I greet the dawn?

    NICE! I love how it ends on a question. It adds an entire new dimension to the poem. Well done with the haiku btw.

    Not bad Red. I like it too. It gains power as it goes on. I would suggest you find a better word than "indicative." Or get rid of altogether. Every object is indicative. Say it this way:
    The sun, shining
    at Vernal Equinox

    Yes, but the sun is indicative of a fine equinox. Plus the syllable count is haiku-like.
