Congratulation Line, great haiku, but aching is a metaphor suggesting the ocean feel. :-)

Line Gauthier

Yes, absolutely. You are so right... It was so much easier when I could claim ignorance. I am going to a national haiku conference next weekend... LOL They will convert me fully. So this is officially my final haiku that only partially meets the rules. LOL
