ReplyDeleteFor another Editor’s Choice, talk about painting a wonderful word picture, here it is by established haiku writer Shirley Plummer from the USA. When you watch a sun set from your own deck, will you not always see it this way from this point on? Just like a watercolor hanging in a gallery exhibit. Thank you Shirley.

Shirley's fresh pov and well-chosen verb lift the poem out of the ordinary.
