Sunset haiku

Mackerel clouds at sunset by Bruce Stambaugh — Mackerel clouds at sunset.

Mackerel clouds sail
above the gilded sunset,
trees silhouetted.

Love that ‘Mackerel clouds…’! I often write about the sea and sky at sunset, and have struggled for this kind of perfection. Bravo!

  Glad you saw the connection, Breeze. But actually, that’s what those clouds are really called, mackerel, because they resemble the fish. Bruce
