bright autumn sun –
the empty hammock
fades just a bit more

Technically, you can’t see the fading in a moment, but the truth of this is more than technical. Excellent.
I want to thank everyone here for the comments and kind words.
Bill and B.M., the discussion about seeing “fading” in a moment reminds me of the philosophical problem of vagueness and the sorites paradox. (grin) you can look that up!
thanks again everyone, I very much appreciate the comments and look forward to contributing more haiku in the future.

Temting haiku.I try a fade reply:
autumn monless night-
all of a sudden
thousands of fireflies
I enjoyed this one. Good to see your work here, Jim.
new hammock . . .
the drone
of a distant tractor
mariposas
all the hammocks
empty at dawn
rain clouds gather
hammock rolled into its den
too soon in hibernation
sways slightly to the breeze
this catcher of the fall
beautiful.
bill, (technically), one can see a “fading” in a moment; my failure to elaborate, does not make it less so.
jim, i thirst for the seasonal wine tasting surrounding the finger lakes.

autumn sun–
faded memories
yet winter’s chill looms
