pagoda

iron lantern flares -
fireflies slowly blink hello:
singed violet skies

    "singed violet skies"-- a perfect description of what the coming of the darkness does to the color.

    I can hear the take of the flame in the lantern, and smell of the wick in the initial stages of burn. Lovely.

    Thanks for this lovely haiku, as always!

    I'm liking your fireflies. And the lantern that singed the sky? No, I think twilight caused all this. (One of mine had fireflies lighting the way for the children.)
    Church of google? Mrs. Jim sometimes thinks that I spend more time there than in or regular church.

    Beautifully done! Each image - orange lanterns, fireflies blinking, and (best of all!) the 'singed violet skies'

    A pleasure to read and imagine!
