Love that satori line with the idea that the leaves gradually absorb the dusk. Your haiku captures the atmosphere of nightfall perfectly. Always a pleasure to read your poetry.

This was written with reverence. I could see the tree bending with respect. The imagery was awesome. Very evocative. Thank you for sharing this with us. Gretchen

Gypsy,

Do like the overall presentation for this Haiku. Your color scheme really works for this imagery. Of course, it takes on a different meaning if it was "leaves full at dusk."

Your image below are darning needles or dragonflies?!!

This is a very atmospheric short poem. I love the idea of the departing sun leaving the leaves full of dusk - it really works as an image here and suits the Haiku form.

I love that expression of the leaves being full of dusk, it suggests that there is an ambiguous thing going on, which is entirely a wonderfully poetic exclamation, well done Gypsy, blessings Roy
