setting sun
setting sun
a child learns to say
“imaginary”
– Isabella Kramer (Germany)
Previously published in Poetry Pea – Haiku Pea Podcast Series 2 Episode 2
The way I see the setting sun in this haiku is more about the transformation from day to night, which also means the transformation of one’s focus from the outer world to the inner one. I loved the way the writer cleverly used the word ‘sunset’ positively, where all energies converge into darkness, but also enlightens the mind.
The second part of this haiku is about the transformation of learning, where a child learns in the daylight, most probably from nature, and dreams, or creates through imagination based on that learning. The word ‘imaginary’ here means the abstract thinking of a child which is chiseled by the daily life experiences before that reaches the stage where they start uniquely perceiving the world. It’s about the transformation from one stage of life to another, from light to darkness, or vice-a-versa. I liked the quotation marks around ‘imaginary’ which make it more significant and unique.

wolf moon
how tiny snowmen
save the world
snow and more snow
new wrinkles around

frost nights
your smile doesn't reach

snow-covered sails
the line you never cross
