Twilight (Haiku)

Cattails slow dance as
the sun gently dips into
a pool of romance.

    This Haiku is late summer nights, lying in the back of a pickup truck in a field with your lover. It's the sunset of nostalgia... I really like this. It brings up such a vivid image of running though that field of cattails and tall grass with someone you love and laughing beneath the night sky, waiting for the sun to rise again. That's the feels it give me.

    It's really quite a beautiful Haiku. ^^

    You know, there are certain types of poetry that just.....ugh....makes your shoulders relax and any tension just melt away.....for me this is one of them :) I just love the tone you bring to it and this piece gives off a certain aura of love and nature.

    A wonderful piece to absorb and ponder for a while :)

    Awesome.

    The title works perfectly to show the imagery of what you wanted to say. You are talking about a sunset and that's when the twilight comes in. One of the most beautiful times of the skies day. Excellent use of cattails and vocabulary in the first line. I had to look up cattails lol. I loved the use of slow dance because to me it sets the tone of the poem. I believe the poem is about the time of day being night or evening and settling down. You could say the hidden meaning is about love and what it's like to watch the sunset with a close love. The emotion is great here though. You have a hint of nature and a touch of love. Well done!

    I love the imagery and the tone. It's very relaxing, and it makes me think of a summer afternoon in Georgia. I'm not very fond of hot weather now, but I used to love to lounge and listen to the breeze. This brings back so many memories :)

    Something about the first line feels a little bit off here, I think that is because of the syllable restriction. But other than that this piece is gorgeous.
