The deepest of deep
is the norhthen sky tonight -
All mysteries solved!

This is reminiscent of the sky I saw the other night, Greta, except it was the western one. This reminds me of the Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis, as well. I like it.

I really like this one Greta. The 'deepest' depths of the sky do make all 'mysteries' seem insignificant, don't they.

Love,
Makera

yes...im sure in a way this is the sky you saw, Lizzy. Maybe i got the inspiration from your post. I read it once again. I can see very clearly how beautiful it must have been... But..one can never capture something like this on a photograph...

Makera, all earthly things are important. At least you forget them for a while if you look at the stars and allow ypurself to dream

You're right, Greta ~ the dimensions and magnificence and grandeur in the expanses of the sky itself can never truly be captured in the photographs of it.

See there a rosebud
Sprouting from the fir tree branch
Ah - bright cardinal's perch

This sounds like something you saw, as winter comes on, Makera? A nice visual.

Thank you, Lizzy! Actually, I saw that yesterday afternoon. Looking out the window at the trees and there, like a bright scarlet rose high up on a frond in all the evergreen - that gorgeous little bird. I just thought it looked so like Haiku material!

Love,
Makera

Greta, the sky you're describing must have been an overwhelming sight!

Makera, what a precious moment and experience to see that beautiful little cardinal bird!

Love, Susanne

Shadowed moon glows rust
Light constancy has faltered
Eclipsed - now so bright!

Hi Makera ~

With your first line, I thought, "That looks like the Eclipse!" It ended up a very fitting description of it

Thanks Liz. They are an amazing sight aren't they?
Difficult, sometimes, to follow the Haiku avoidance of overt metaphors & similies...then you realize a lunar eclipse is a metaphor.
