Let's get started!
I think one of the most beautiful things in the world is the sunrise. My second favorite time of day is the early morning twilight before the sun rises. I enjoy jogging along the beach, looking up and seeing the last remaining stars twinkle before they fade away by the light of the sun. The ocean is a cool silvery-blue color. At this time, anything is possible. No thoughts cloud my mind as the day has not yet begun. What will the new day bring me? What will happen before the sun completes its journey across vast sky? I'm here waiting....waiting for the sun.
Today's haiku by John:
Sunrise here it comes
Only forward never back
The new light blinds me

返信削除Hello, mysterious person!
返信削除I tried to translate your haiku into Japanese. Is it OK with this feeling?
返信削除I'm sorry,it has no season.( Muki-haiku 無季俳句)
陽がのぼる Higa noboru
明るい未来 Akarui mirai
目にしみて Meni shimite
Wow! Thank you, Akiko san! I forgot that it should be connected with a season, right? Should it contain an onomatopoeia, too? How about this?
削除Sunrise breaks the cold
Only forward, never back
The new light blinds me.
Wow! Akiko San !

Yaeko san, you are awesome, too!
削除In another note, when is the most favorite time of day for you?
返信削除I think you mean, "On another note..." Good try. My favorite time of day is about 1 hour before sundown. Everything turns golden, the sky looks radiant, the moon and stars start to come out as well as the hustle-bustle of the city night-life. I was born around 5pm. I wonder if that is the reason why.
削除On another note, yes , I made a mistake as usual .
返信削除So you like twilight time ...
before sunrise and sunset .
I never asked myself what time of day I like best .
But around that time scenery looks always different .
Sometimes it’s breath-taking .
I remember a movie ‘ before sunrise’
And a few years later they made ‘after sunset’
The same actor and actress in the movies.
The actor was Ethan Hawk .
I enjoyed their conversation very much.
I've heard of Ethan Hawk, but I haven't heard anything about him lately. I wonder what happened to him.
