I'm in musing mode. So here are a few haiku that washed up in the shore of my mind or whatever.
*
next to me a clunk
along the deserted strand,
airborne gull dropped a clam
*
tiny periscopes,
those black cormorants fishing
in the tidal wash
*
*
*
so fast the sand crab
scuttles into the jetty,
was he there at all?
*sanderlings skitter
like a flock of wind-up toys
from the rushing wave

Love the crab haiku! (and crabs in general, lol)
Thanks for the poems and the pics. Lovely, as always!
these are wonderful haiku, Tricia! and the pictures are dear to my heart as well...
Interesting haiku's and I love the pics!
Tere: Have you ever tried to capture on of those little guys in a picture? Soooo fast. Thank you!
Jan & Pat: Thank you, thank you so much!
Ahhh ...
I love that you enjoy the beach so much and really get out there. It's super cool.
Which beach is that rocky pic from?
Donna: Hope that was a good ah!
Suzanne: I can hardly stand to miss a day now that I'm living here.
And, beleive it or not, that is the Venice jetty.
Great pics! Love when I see Haiku in your title! :)
Jemi: :D:D:D
*Love* Thank you. I can smell the salt in the air and hear the poetry of the ocean in your words.
I'm in desperate need of a coastal fix. More please. :)
VR: *blushes* Okay, soon. :)
I love these! They make me want to stop and try a different writing form for a revv-up! Nice work!
Excellent! Not only do you paint a picture with words but then you actually have a picture to go with them! It's like double the adventure.
Faith: I think you would have so much fun with haiku. It would go well with your artistic nature. I love reading the haiku masters from centuries ago--they were so insightful and, often, funny.
Linda: *smiling* I'm glad you had an adventure here. Makes my day.
That's the Venice jetty? I thought you were out in Malibu! Crazy. :)
Oh course it's a good ahhh. Otherwise it would be an ewww!
Lovely haiku and photos as always
Thanks for the haiku moment and images of beauty. We're so fortunate to have these words and these beaches to write about.
Your haikus go so well with your lovely photos. I especially liked your cormorant-periscope metaphor.
Lee: You got that right! I feel so fortunate.
Sarah: *grins* I liked it, too, when I squinted out to sea, trying to make out what I was looking at and going, 'Oh!'
