Last Sunset

Leaf 193 – Looking Back

 

Tim Chamberlain - Malta Sunset (October 2014)

Following on from Leaf 192, I think this haiku captures a sentiment which most people will be able to relate to. I wrote it with a particular time and place in mind. The place was the island of Malta, which is steeped in history. Having just completed my Masters degree in 2014, I rewarded myself by spending a week travelling solo, exploring historical sites connected to the island’s prehistoric, medieval, and Second World War eras. I had a fantastic and fascinating time, so much so that on my last night there I sat on the cliffs overlooking the sea, watching the sunset – which I photographed (see above), while very much wishing I didn’t have to go home.

 

 

Different sigh,

last sunset

of the holiday.

 

 

 

This haiku was originally written and posted as a response to a #dailyhaikuprompt on Bluesky.
