Cold heaven of night
Lights dance display unfolds
The horizon so burns.

Hrmm Ive got that wrong havent I ? Take two...Well I tried :)

[SyberRose]

they are not easy to do John...the display of lights unfolds...and horizon burns

[lothlorienwriter]

Well I like both, equally well, John and CybersRose's, who needs a structure or a title, in both cases the words fit the picture perfectly and too very different interpretations too which caught my interest.Good idea for a competition perhaps if it has not been done already. Anyway your both winners in my book!

[SyberRose]

Thank you for peeking in...another English friend...as I was born in England too...I was helping John with syllable count...as he had never penned a Haiku before...Well this forum has lots of contests as you can click on Contests to see what they are...I have some poems now in many of them...if you would like to peek in... I have three in the Gothic contest if you would like to vote for one of them haha...anyway...thank you for peeking in and btw I had read where no title is needed for a Haiku because that would give it four lines instead of three and the first line is usually the title...Haiku is meant to give a vision from the poem and I guess a title would take away from that. Im not an expert though on this haa...Rose:)

Such a beautifully penned haiku to accompany this gorgeous photo. The desert at night is breathtaking. It is so crystal clear, so peaceful. Both of these sentiments shine through like these twinkling millions of stars in this brilliant little verse...

[SyberRose]

Thank you Dean...and nice hearing from you today...Rose

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Beautiful picture and words to go with...thank you for sharing.

[SyberRose]

Thank you so much Brandon...I enjoyed doing this challenge from another forum...:)

[John Phoenix Hutchinson..]

Great photo.....but I really dont get these Haiku poems they strike me as lazy but perhaps you or someone else can show me differently? Perhaps lazy is the wrong word and actually it is..........but I have yet to read one that has any depth at all. Open to enlightenment.

[SyberRose]

Acutually I did these Haiku I posted last night because they were challenges from another forum to do them...I usually dont do them..but I like a challenge...It all depends if you can relate to them...but someone who is an part American Indian loved this one...Well I challenge you to do one for this photo ha...sometimes you can say so much with such little words...Masaoka Shiki is the inventer of Haiku...but thank you John for peeking in today...appreciate your visit...Rose

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

I accept the challenge just remind me of the rules again with regard Haiku?

[SyberRose]

syllable count...5-7-5 usually referring to nature..looking forward to reading it John.

Thank you so much for visiting today:)

I can see love and peace scattered among the stunning stars in that night sky. We all stand under the stars and pray, and at a scene like that the calm washes over you and the smoke gentle rolls through.
