    L1 sets the scene while L2 not only darkens the day (L3) but also deepens the gloomy mood in L1. And on second reading, the concluding word, colour, effectively carries emotional and symbolical significance.

    A thematically significant and environmentally conscious haiku that offers an incisive glimpse into the coalfield/fire.
