Dawn 2
Sunlight’s bright razor shaves the sea’s black horizon. Dawn’s blood stains the sky.

HI Larry, What a lovely haiku! Two suggestions: Would it be 'skies' as plural, or just 'sky': Dawn’s blood stains sky The second one is regarding capitalization of L2 and punctuation. I know with Haiku most do not punctuate, but some do - so if you are so inclined - I'd change shaves to lowercase, and add a semi-colon after 'horizon'. Nice to read your work again! ~Cleo

Lori,
You are correct, as usual. I believe there needs to be a period after horizon though; ending that particular thought. Otherwise, I would need to use lower case on Dawn. Hope the edit makes it better.
Larry
