Shadows crossed the room

Sunlight faded from the walls

Moments slipped away

This haiku creates a calm but slightly sad mood. The images of shadows and fading sunlight clearly show the passing of time. The last line, “Moments slipped away,” gives a strong emotional feeling and connects well with the other lines.

I find your kaihu very gentle and vivid; it's easy to imagine these shadows moving in the dark. I think there's a real play of light that stands out in these three lines, with the daylight and shadows following one another. The evocation of shadows and light reminds me of fleeting moments, which you manage to highlight at the end of your poem through the moments that pass and seem to almost escape us.
