Softly, sound of waves
splashing, broken only by
haunting call of loon.

~


Solitary loon
his mournful, echoing cry
searching for his mate
repeats his plantative call
haunting my waking moments.

~


There!  a silent loon
gracefully swimming .... now gone
diving for his meal.

It sounds as if you have found your peace and quiet after all! I enjoyed this, and also love loons.

Since I'm a Canadian I love loons, they are beautiful as were your haikus and tanka!  I love the first haiku...amazing!  

Take care,

Joannak,
  Beautiful poetry collection about the loon, a delightful subject for a haiku/tanka.
Good imagery used here.
