Hello Isabelle, Welcome !
_Ah yes, the strutting rooster in a display to rival the sunset !
_This -sunset- I retireved from my ‘scribble pit,’ and I hope you’ll see it as intended… a complement.
Lovely to see you on Tinywords!

A very peaceful, rich image, Isabelle!
Although I’ve not seen a maize roaster’s fire, I can imagine how it looks Isabelle. I find your haiku a warm and comforting end of day scene.

Thank you so much for your kind comments!
If you wish to see a picture of a maize roaster, here is my local one (half-way down the page) :

Once the short Kenyan twilight sets in, the glowing charcoal roasting the maize, lights up the whole scene!
