This poem and the artwork you chose are so lovely and soothing. You have met the contest requirements but gone above that by writing a piece that is a delight to read. I could hear the nightingale in your words.

This 5-7-5, Farewell til Morning, has the right set up and allows that the quiet darkness has a chipper chipper reminding all that there will be another day. Nice.

Hello my friend

Beautiful entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllable count. Lovely presentation. The lines connect grammatically and helps to flow. Well done. It looks like it's going to win the contest.

This is a very soothing and peaceful piece that captures the sights and sounds of twilight - the remains of the day. The nightingale's song is the perfect way to end the day and welcome the night. Her adieu. Lovely.

The title of your Haiku is very eye catching that it summarizes the whole Haiku Poem. Nightingale has a very powerful and beautiful song that can actually last till morning. This is traditional haiku poem with its traditional form an style of nature , animals an season. Syllables are well don in 575 format. Good Job.

Is it just that I'm prone to tender emotions more now that just being outside the house is tantamount to escaping from prison? I don't know...
I only know that your little poem and the overall hue the same as my mood these days came together and made me want to weep...AND rejoice for that sweet wing'ed freedom we don't have right now Beautifully done.--Karenina

    Six out of seven days I keep a stiff upper lip and do well...it's a cold grey day here today and my husband is at odds as well so the good thing is I know this will pass. Your poem just hit a nerve and in its own sweet way made me melancholy AND with a smile!--Karenina

This 5-7-5 is truly a little poetic gem -so much poetic sentiment expressed within the confines of the format -I don't have a 6 - but will follow through in the booth !! thanks for sharing

I usually find the 5-7-5 format to be trite at times.
This one is a beautifully penned Haiku.
The visual-art is quite appropriate to enhance your nature theme.
I see a promising contest entry.
Best Wishes!
