Enjoyed them all, especially “deepening dusk,” and “rolling hills” – love the image of “the wobbly sun”! I also love your poignant haiku that was shortlisted for the Touchstone Award (I went back to the Awards page to find your poem) – congratulations, well-deserved!
Awesome composition. May you grow as grows your imagination
