The hiding sunset
The air between day and night
Beyond the oak tree


The night sky runs deep
The purple black enchantment
Beyond; the stars bright
Will Turner: You didn't beat me: you ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you.
Jack Sparrow: That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it?

Wow, i thought that was really well written. The ideas in the text all fit together and create a perfect image :D

This is really good, It must be hard to make an image in three lines.
I noticed that they are all connected to nature, is this intentional?
My favorite is the first, I can see the image exactly.
I don't fully understand the last, is this in the city, the constant change of colours being light?
All avoid basic cliched settings, like bright sunny days and cold winters nights.
I have read some professional Haikus and they often make a action happen in the haiku, that is just some advice.
In all of the haiku's the first two lines begin with "The", Is this intentional?

I love these. You adhered to the form perfectly, and your imagery is beautiful and clear. The second is my favourite. I really love;
"The purple black enchantment."
It's a wonderful phrase.

If I were to be a stickler, I'd suggest that you think of a word other than "bright" as stars are usually described in this manner. It might be interesting to use a verb.

Hope this helps. Thanks for a great read.

With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise."
