First Sunray

a glint of orange
dancing on the horizon
bare branches rejoice

Kim M. Russell, 13^th January 2020

Today our prompt is ‘first sunray’, and we’ve been given an example by Matsuo Basho to inspire us:

Mume ga ka ni notto hi no deru yamaji kana

Scents of Ume blossoms ―
The sun rises like a marvel
Ah, this mountain path

This is really beautiful. Mine just ended up being silly.
