Haiku 1
still twilight forest
night brings a diamond blanket
the moon shudders slow
Haiku 2
death comes at twilight
shadows dance in wary peace
light grabs my sad wrist

Love the first, wondering why “sad wrist” in the second. I’m stumped. Enjoyed the read, though. Thanks.
Well, I pictured this light which grabs the writer by the wrist and stops her from going towards death.
Thank you! :)
Ah, I like that now I understand. Thanks for taking the time. Warmly, Brenda
Thank you for reading. :)
My pleasure. :-)
Great images. Thanks for the mention, too.

Thank you, and you are muchly welcome. :)
wow, so good, looks like we had the same thought line for a moment (for my first and your second) :D
Oh lovely!
I guess we should avoid the great minds, etc cliche. :D
haha, that might be for the best, if it happens to be true oh well. ;)
Interesting constructions. Could you derive some visuals from the words?

Thank you!
The first one’s a pretty straightforward one of a forest at nightfall. The secoond one can be interpreted as the journey of the writer moving towards death and being stopped by light.
