#1448 afterglow (yuuyake)
Chèvrefeuille prompts "Today's kigo is taken from the division of summer - heavens.
Afterglow (yuuyake) means literary "burnt evening" or yuuyake, the glow of the sky at sunset. I found a nice haiku in which this kigo is used"

Long ago The Corpus Christi holiday served as a marker for the Rainy Season. [Corpus Christi this year was May 31st] It was a day to plant for every one who had the smallest bit of backyard space. Now the days get hotter and the rains come it seems, when it pleases. And we wait for the Met Office to tell us The Rainy Season is here. So here we are folks in the month of June and its still hot hot here.
