crooked little streets
with ten thousand lamps ablaze
punishing the night

    This street perspective is like a gentle invitation to explore the night lights. Very beautiful.

    I never thought of it that way, but we do punish the night merely for existing. Great haiku!

    It definitely seems like a punishment. A wonderful haiku and a great photograph to go along with it.

    Yes, of course, sometimes the night can be so comforting…. and even a bit of light changes everything! Happy New Year, my friend!

    Punish the night… that is a perspective I really like… and a wonderful picture as usual.

    in the lights harsh glare
    night shattered into shadows
    small dark particles

    Cheers!

    oh, no, it’s not a punishment, it’s a soft glow to help the weary see their way home!

    How nice for some peace and quiet. Must blazing lights disturb? Yes Nicely wrapped up MMT!

    I love the idea of the lights as punishment. Well done!
