late afternoon—
a glimpse of sunlight
through her hair

The old sunlight through the hair always works for us. ;-)
Here's a very very old one from me…
her black hair
catching sunlight
on his shoulder

Thank you, Alan, for sharing your poem! Since it's such an old one, that hair may be white now — a color that also works beautifully, in a similar and yet distinctly different way. :- )
That's a good idea, Bill, to perhaps revise older poems to show the lovely changes. Then reprint together. There's a beauty that is only given with age and from the heart, in my view!
a new river of
poems begins to flow
as I grow older
still reading by natural light
