Poems to remember from 2011 - Day 4, dusk

Twilight, dusk, night.Haiku poets, since the time of Basho, have always reveled in this period after sunset.The poems I bring you today are based on this theme - "dusk".

open window
a mockingbird song
the length of twilight

Christopher Herold




beer and wine
a summer night
with my sometime thing

David Caruso





sparrows at the edge
of summer dusk ...
how will I remember her

Francine Banwarth

(I am not sure this one could be called a dusk haiku though!)

closing time
winter dusk slides down
the book drop

Roberta Beary





whispering the darkness between fireflies

Laura Garrison





blue razor
on the tub's edge
winter dusk

Joyce Clement





threading the needle
one star pierces
the night


Michelle Schaefer









sound of the ocean
north of the fence...
night snow

Issa, 1803
