Thank you so much Mahtab ... a theme I have used a few times in different forms. My grandmother once told me that the sparkles on the sea are fairies/sprites being born, but I also like to think of them as Neptune's coins, (gold in the day, silver at night). ;-) Blessings!

Yes, to what you said below. It's great when you can tell a story with just one line. REally, a monoku is simply a haiku in a straight line and very few know how to do either form!

Thank you so much, Andrea ... they're such wonderful forms for many reasons!

Thank you very much, Andrea ... I like short forms when they tell a whole story in just a few words, and it's not only a great challenge, but it forces me to learn new words, be creative with phrasing, and maximize word meaning. I write a LOT of Haiku and Monoku, but don't post a lot of it here ... I posted some when I first joined, but then got away from it, (though I write some daily as a "warm-up" and often get ideas for longer pieces). Blessings, friend! :-) <3
