Dusk - September 8, 2014

For Carpe Diem Haiku Kai ...

 darkness
the wideness of things
fills the distance



tangled branches
coming darkness
woven in
a wave breaks white
a gull folds its wing
as the sea darkens


© Jane Reichhold

until dusk
they hide in secret places -
Nightingales sing

© Chèvrefeuille



sunkissed Mount Baldo
the darkness in the valley
- and the crickets sigh

early autumn dusk
bats joyfully fly and screech
gathering mosquitoes

following sunset
cicada empty branches
in the gloaming

lonely night song
in Arco's gloaming valley
nightingale's concert

  3. "Gloaming" is such a lovely word, and used so seldom. Thanks for including it in this fine tribute to dusk.

    1. I do so love the word gloaming .. I read it for the first time years ago (used incorrectly by the way) in Shogun by Clavell. Glad you liked its presence.

  4. As it often does darkness opens up to lots of insect drama. Not expected to be quiet but an orchestra of bewitching medley! Nicely Georgia!

    1. I must admit that we hear more owls and squeeking bats rather than nightengales ... and of course they're hunting. Thanks for your lovely comment Hank!

  5. A lovely series -- we're finally getting those cicada-empty branches here in the States. :(

    1. This year we didn't hear them screeching a lot ... not even the crickets for that matter. Everything kind of sloshes. ;-)

    2. Oh no!
      We're REALLY inundated with crickets suddenly. Glad you're seeing bats there. That's a good sign.
