A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Wow you did that fast!! Cool..by the way, .the word Brulant means feverish, flushed, hot…

Ah, Google translated it to ‘peaceful’.
‘peaceful dusk allows…’
perhaps with the corrected definition this might be a better fit (I shall add it to my post):
steaming dusk along
with salt from the ocean
cook her summer sleep

Your translation is just fine, I was only referring to the first haiku when you refer to “burnt” body …it was flushed, hot or feverish..just helping you understand the nuance of the word Brulant…it literally means a burning body…so flushed or hot would have fit nicely, I think:)

So much for a nap, going exploring since hubby came home… We are west coast folks sort of visiting the east coast. Well he’s working most of the time, and me I’m chill’axin’ 🙂

Normally, well once I get home – I’m in SE, PA.
Not near the coast, but I’ve got a creek that borders my back yard. We probably have similar bird-friends.
I’m still on PA time which is about 11:30pm thought it is only 8:30pm now. So I am fading fast.
We did go to the ‘mountain’ and up one of the lesser slopes. Just enough to see the road but not clear as to just where the hotel is. Might not be close enough to the actual park as part of the mountain range is a cattle ranch. So I am tuckered out now! 🙂
