Seashore Haiku
By Don Iannone

1
gentle ocean breeze
drifts across mountains of sand
broken seashell laughs

2
one wave, then comes more
perfect red-orange sunset
land, sea, and sun meet

3
shipwrecked sailor calls
into the night he wanders
then his ship comes in

I am thinking, lovely summer breeze and walk on a beach made you write this poem!!

I have always wondered what lies beyond the horizon where 'land sea and sun meet'

Thanks James, Dumbdoddi, and Kathleen. Enjoy your tidal dreams.

James...ocean poetry? Just thinking about of the good times walking on the beach on Amelia Island (north of Jacksonville). The ocean is also so full of inspiration.

You know these are good even though they don't rhyme. I like reading poetry out loud and can hear the words in my ears. Even though I am getting a little hard of hearing. Is it ok to say things to other folks leaving you messages? I like what this dumbdodi has to say about the horizon. I was on a ship during my service days and I saw some of the prettiet sunsets and sunrise you ever seen. They were gorgus. Well if dumbdodi can see what I'm writing here maybe she'll know I said I agree with her. Hey better scoot.

Yours truly
