happy screams–
seafoam-washed children
collect shells
relentless–
sun blue sky cloud wisps
winding north
wind rising–
storm clouds press downward,
intersect
calmer seas–
surfers try to catch
dying waves
wispy clouds–
sky vast, bird-empty–
tide going out
For dVerse OLN, hosted by Mish.

I love these, Kerfe. I can imagine being in Ocean City, NJ when we used to go every summer with the kids. Happy Memories! It’s good to have you back. 🙂

Thanks Merril. We had great weather–one afternoon storm, that was it. I can always relax by the ocean. This is about the extent of the art and writing I did, but I didn’t lose it to the sea this year!

I was thinking that. I remember you lost something at the beach last year. 🙂

You brought the ocean to us, Kerfe, through these wonderful haiku. I love the art, reminds me of my son’s artwork in school
