lovely hibiscus
sunset seen in its petals
waiting for the dawn
This challenge with Carpe Diem #1790 A Fine Sunset,
is to revise the following classic haiku by Matsuo Bashō.
My response is more an inspiration than a revision.
in the twilight rain
these brillian-hued hibiscus –
a lovely sunset

We just brought home (from our trip to the Rio Grande Valley) two hardy hibiscus – blooms will be deep red – we plan to put one in the ground and see how it fares, the other in a pot that we can bring into heated porch during winter months. Your haiku stokes my anticipation for the first blooms!
