is the pale blue palette the sky?
Yes, didn't get that. I bet it is the sky and the person
is looking up through trees and sees the sky.
Maybe the 'blue' also links to the 'sad' in the third line.
This kind of metaphor, by the way, is frowned upon by most
conservative haiku writers (like me).
And... while I think implying (but not specifically stating) that a
person is sad is fine (remember this is all IMHO), there does need
to be something in the nature/environment that would cause this
emotion (I've seen a dead plum tree used this way); i.e. it can't
just come out of the blue (sorry, just had to
)
