    Oh, Linda, it is so good to hear from you. Your eyes?? Are you still in Florida? We are in total lock down here in California, so I have no excuse not to write. Please stay healthy and safe. We are in such scary times right now, especially if you are like me and in the high risk area. I have so missed your reviews, and happy you liked this one. Keep me posted. Hugs and Health Val

Hello Val Crisson
I say that you have an excellent haiku with the picture of the formation of the sun glowing through the black clouds. And your haiku is a great entry for the haiku contest.

Very nice picture! It complements the poem well! I sounded out illumination surprised that it had five syllables! lol It is a wonderful use for the word though! Wish you the best and good luck with the contest!

    I know I checked out the syllable count twice, and with my editor (my husband). It does have 5, and really haiku doesn't really need to be 5/7/5. Long story - haiku is ever changing. None the less, thank you for the review.

This is just such a fine haiku, Val. Two concrete images very clearly stated and easy to imagine. And can be interpreted both literally and figuratively. In either case illumination is indeed the result.

Excellent poem and I wish you much luck with the Contest Committee.

Gloria
