    prairie sunset
    the glow of the cattleman's
    branding iron
    still warm
    the coffee now bitter
    cold descends
    stoking the fire
    beans and bacon
    morning comes
    too soon....

    this is a perfect haiku in my opinion.
    cinematic & perfectly juxtaposed

    Ditto cinematic - but nonetheless 'real'. Great stuff.

    Cinematic, dramatic, but not in the least overstated. A Markowski gem.

    smoke from the fire
    snaking cross the glades--
    this glowing sunset

    Ed, You've teased all my senses... either directly or subliminally!

    sunset
    blankets this lowing herd
    campfires mime
