This was a great senryu haiku, Gypsy. The picture was fantastic after the sunset. I really appreciated your words about widow watching the sunset lift her spirits. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

In the story about Seth and Emma, somebody in Emma's life dies and she's sure that God used that beautiful sunset to remind her He's there for her. She's angry with God. Your wonderful poem is perfect.

    It's my secret until it happens. I think it will be shock.

Gypsy,

Nice presentation for the widow's thoughts of her loved one.

I might suggest an edit in your last line to keep it in the present moment: lifting her spirit(s) - still keeps to 17 syllables.

Very moving, Gypsy,
I appreciate the double meaning of the last line of your well-crafted senryu.
Your ability to say so much in so few words is truly a gift.
Thank you for sharing you gift with me.

Best Wishes!
diane

That's a sweet farewell in "lifting the spirit. I imagine her looking at the sunset, which does symbolize the end, and releasing her hold on her beloved.

I saw or interpreted this two different ways. First she watched the sunset and thought of her loved ones spirit soaring to heaven. The other was she is celebrating her freedom. This was a pleasure to read. Gretchen

good senryu - could also be a haiku, too...
nice imagery as the funeral passes so does the sun... and spirit

thank you for sharing

There is something about the sunset, laying to rest the day, (and one's woes) and then the similarity of the sunrise, but the sign of new beginnings, oh yes, a sign of grace, beautifully written, blessings Roy

That's a really nice poem. I love the picture and too. The colors are great, I always enjoy sunset colors.
I like that there's a little bright light at the end where the sunset can lift the spirits of a lady who iso sad so good job. I really like this one!
I don't see any issues with grammar spelling sentence structure or esthetics. I think it's well done as always. When you are writing, have yourself a great evening!
