with arms open wide
she welcomes the evening waves
as they roll to shore

Beach

Yosa Buson’s haiku about a broom and a beach inspires me to write a new haiku:

 

The short night—
a broom thrown away
on the beach.

 
~~ ~~ ~~
 


a tree for her broom
old woman sweeping the beach
just before nightfall

 
~~ ~~ ~~
 

Imagine a broom tidying the beach.

not even wayward children
picking up stray shells

Crystal

A hidden place photo beachPuertoNuevo_zps3aae99e3.jpg
Along the beach, Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México
 


crystal clear sunlight
reflects all colors in the mirror—
shadow of a dragon


huddling in a seaside cave
Jonah hides himself from God

summer evening
a breeze turns leaves over
abandoned book


fishing among the shadows
she hopes to catch a fresh word

Sometimes letters come,
drenched in salt spray from the sea—
the same old stories.
