In darkening skies
Some more of my haiku in the form of Gembun. A Gembun, created by ai li in 1997, is made up of either a one-word first link or anything up to one sentence, to be capped by a haiku of up to four lines. The Gembun has to include an element of suggestion in either the opening sentence, the haiku or both. The cover art is of a painting by Deb Anderson - a 12"x12" oil on board painting of the Night Sky and the Seven Sisters.
