Beautiful color scheme and accompanying picture that perfectly illustrates your poem. Many haiku seem a bit awkward when reading them, but yours flows naturally. A lovely thought and so true, sunsets are masterpieces of color with God's creative touch. Excellent! Best wishes!

Wow! Very nice, serene scene in that complementary picture art.
Nicely met the line and sylable count requirements of this 5-7-5 poem contest.
Indeed, indeed, we see the fashioning hands of God in every atmosphere and light of dusk, with none ever exactlly the same as another. God's infinite brush strokes.
Good luck in the contest!

As an artist and a spiritual being, I see every sunset as a masterpiece of God. So needless to say, I love your Haiku and how you have used your talent to illustrate and reflect on God's creation. Beautiful Haiku.

Yes, it is a vibrant sunset. It seems to blossom into a cloud formation that explodes into the sky full-blown. I love the use of the last line such as haiku would do with its sartori saying that it is designed creation. Whether one believes in a designed creation theory or not there is no doubt about the beautiful beach at Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Thanks for sharing this lovely poem.
Jesse

Your beautiful 575 poem is excellent for the challenge. You use correct syllable counts, vivid descriptions and imagery, to convey the Goodness of God's Creation. Thank you for sharing this.

Best wishes

This feels like a sentence uttered from the mouth of someone who got a lot out of that day's sermon. I love the picture chosen as well. This life and the beauty I witness is sometimes overwhelming. I am unable to properly identify where or why any of this is here. Sometimes, I can, but how fleeting! Thank you for this.

I enjoyed your beautifully worded 5-7-5. I have always believed the beauties of nature are God's gift to mankind.
I see that truth in your poem. Best of luck in the contest.

What a beautiful picture! I like the reflection of the sky in the water. We had a similar sky over NW Ohio a few days ago. Your syllable counts are perfect, and the message of your poem is lovely. Best wishes in the contest. Carol

The Outer Banks are quite beautiful! I remember the sunsets well. I enjoyed my stint as a US Marine in the Carolinas. I would like to return one day.

Great memories came back from your poem Thanks!

Good luck in the competition!
