The sunset yielded to starlight And the wave kept the rhythmic song, Pounding on from day to night As the salty winds played along, With old fingers the pen in hand, Slowly I wrote a simple haiku There on the shore in the wet sand To be washed away and taken to you As sand grind the feet I dream of your softest touch From lips tasting sweet The starlight is blinded by the sun, The tides have erased all away, The brightness and people come Upon the sandy vastness to play, I leave with a coat of fresh brine Hoping the waves can reach you, And touch your heart from mine Letting you know my sand Haiku. Gloom |

Prof. I like this better than anything I've ever read of yours. Maybe it's because it's about the beach, and I do love the beach. Anyway, I'm keeping it, too. Hugs Ethel |

Just had to introduce some of your work to a new member. You don't mind having this gem bumped up, do you? |
