Wriiten with Dennis White! What fun!


SEASHELL COLLECTION - HAIKU



Seashells from the depths

Gallery of color, shapes

Functional artwork



On cold Winter days

These seashells to warm the heart

Of Summer and Sea



Exquisite beauty

Pearled Imperial Turbo

Hermit crab's shell home



Lying on the sand

A memory of the Sea

These gifts to behold



Treasures of the sea

Borne up by the churning waves

After violent storm



To calm storms within

Delicate beauty so rare

These gifts of God's Love

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

ellie:  These are all lovely!  I enjoyed reading them.  I have a collection of sea shells, from the western coast and also from
Australia and New Guinea, so these haiku really intrigued me.

Love

Dear Ellie,

I loved the haiku. I was introduced to haiku a few years ago by a customer at work who gave me  a book called "The Sound of Water". I had never read them before. Now I'm hooked!

Love,
Patricia
