Pink and purple clouds, Crowds the setting western sky Darkness returns haunting. Thicker dark does fly With drizzle night is falling Calling sadness loud With sorrow we cry Beneath this heavenly shroud All colors fading. Gloom |

Descending through the clouds Waiting for anoinya to vist Doesn't clean the chimney But Pink and purple clouds, Darkness returns haunting. Thicker dark does fly With drizzle night is falling Calling sadness loud With sorrow we cry Beneath this heavenly shroud All colors fading. Dave and some apologies for the words |

Professor, I like your haiku string. In this line, "Thicker dark does fly", it seems like you've used 'does' as a filler. Why not say something like 'thicker dark rises', though to me it seems more natural to have 'thicker dark descend'. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Thank you, Pilgrimage I always like to string on a few, But as for it being a filler, Yeah, but so is the whole poem. Now why did I picked this bit of filler In this particular spot, Perhaps it’s because I like that d d sound I have always liked my d’s close without an and between them Which is why I’ll add mayhem to let it roll Death, destruction and mayhem. Now as for the fly versus descend, Well it was a bit windy and they were technically falling The droplets were very light and the wind very gusty And they seemed to me more of flying at the moment Hmmmm, I guess this word was not just a filler. Thank you, passing shadows, Always nice to be read by you If it can give but just a little to you Gloom |

When they fade, do they become lighter pastels? The delicacy of the lighter ones has its place among a painting, perhaps blending in the background to heighten contrasts. Professor, I enjoyed your work, as always. [This message has been edited by Sadelite (03-23-2004 05:01 AM).] |

Sorry Professor Your words brought home the idea of a chimney sweep and I though that was your idea Dave |
