Notes About The Poem

Haiga - Ocean

~   deep azure expanse...


              tidal heart beats - flow and ebb -


       grand bosom of life   ~

That last line is so, so, so true---lest we forget! Perhaps the Ocean should be named 'Eve.'... Congrats on your richly-deserved win! Best always, Gershon

Congratulations Gregory! A metaphor: heartbeats, one word. The juxtaposition got you there :)

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! :-)
