patient ball of fire
drowns in pacific waters:
welcome rising night.

What a lovely haiku! I can picture the sinking of the magnificent solar orb into the waters of the Pacific.

I also enjoyed slick lady's poetic response. Beauty begets beauty!

Love & Light,

Thank you

Can I be contrary with this?
From my understanding of Haiku, the language should not be figurative. That is not its style.
This is a nice short poem, figurative in each line, but because of that, perhaps it should not be called Haiku.

I've given your idea some thought as to how I might think of this as Haiku.
How about this?

I think this is an absolutely beautiful and highly enjoyable senryu!

With the seasonal element it becomes a perfect haiku, as Sir Arthur Grey suggests.

I like this form very much, but still I wouldn't call myelf an expert ... for me it's enough if it sounds good to my ear.

Love, Margherita
