Haiga - Ocean

~   deep azure expanse...


              tidal heart beats - flow and ebb -


       grand bosom of life   ~




~ 1st Place ~  in the "Haiga/Haiku Theme Ocean/Sea 5-7-5" Poetry Contest, Mick Talbot, Sponsor.

Mick Talbot Date: 5/11/2018 9:35:00 PM Congratulations Gregory! A metaphor: heartbeats, one word. The juxtaposition got you there :) Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 5/12/2018 4:14:00 PM Thank you so much, Mick - I am honored! "Heart beats" two words is intentional, meaning the "heart of the tide, beats", not talking about the "heartbeats of the tide" ... I DO make typos and oversights quite often, but that was not one. Blessings! :-)
