This trio of haiku is for Ronovan’s weekly challenge
Into the ocean
pour the broken things, jetsam,
washed far from the shore.
White shore birds wave-skim,
quicksilver fish dart through deeps,
life, ocean-cradled.
One life laps the shore,
an ocean of tears and joy,
gulls laugh in the spray.
Very maritime indeed!
Hard not to be 🙂
Beautiful. Spent afternoon yesterday near ocean and bay.
Lucky you!
It was beautiful weather yesterday but San Francisco cooled down significantly requiring a jacket.
I was hoping you’d give me a clue as to which bay you’d been to. I imagined you lived closer to the Himalayas than San Francisco!
Long time ago left India.
I’ll have to change your decor now 🙂
😅😅😅
Wow. I love that opening:
“Into the ocean
pour the broken things, jetsam”
Thank you!
Love the first one for its message, the second one for its pretty language!
Thank you 🙂 The edge of the ocean is a good place to write about.
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
More thanks 🙂
Beautiful haiku. I loved how you connected ocean with lives. I certainly see ocean in a different way now, gotta write something about it!
It should be second nature to you by now 🙂
I love the laughing gulls. 🙂
I thought of you when I wrote the line 🙂
Awwww! Thank you! 🙂
