I agree on the 'the's. I like it very much as a whole, but my favorite got to be the third.

'Long before sunrise
through a window in the clouds,
the turquoise twilight.'

I've admired that picture in real so many times, and just dreamed myself flying out of the window.
Beautiful.

Thanks once again for the kind comments Volaticus,
I am in the process of editing these and then I shall repost it and see what people think, I'm going to try and stay away from the 5-7-5 format from now on, I think that has been my downfall at times. And also the 'turquoise twilight' one is my favourite, but Billy is right in saying that is almost excellent, and that's good enough reason to try and make it excellent. Turquoise is such a beautiful word it feels like you can't fail when using it.
I myself have also admired that picture so many times, and because you live in Denmark which is almost as far north as where I am in the north of Scotland then you'll know exactly what I mean. I wrote that one last year near the summer solstice June 21st ish and at that time if its a clear night it doesn't really get properly dark and the colours int the sky are spectacular, and all its all about to start again soon.
Thanks once again.
