I am wondering how that boar spent it's day. Did it set there all day or did it take happy people on a boat ride and a picnic. I am hoping it took happy people for a ride. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem with us.

    The beauty of haiku is that it may create different meaning to different people. Also is that it should make you ponder.

That final line made me smile. I can see the boat and feel it full of sunset and all the lovely colors that accompany it. The presentation is gorgeous. I like how each line grows slightly darker to settle into the night.

What a great Ekphrastic, Gypsy. I really enjoyed the dual pictures, of the boat tied to the shore. Your words were delightful and so true, they showed that the sunset was going to happen regardless. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed be n Hugs!!!

I like that empty boat filled full of the sunset, the close of the day. There's a feeling of loneliness in both the boat and the emptying of the light of the day. But the water can rock the boat and give it some comfort.

    Yes, I felt the boat's loneliness too. Purposeless and alone. But it depends who is looking at it and what feelings she or he gets. A glass half full or half empty.

    Thank you, Big Sister. Have a wonderful day.

    Love,

    MariVal ❤️
