Charmaine Chircop Poet Haiku

Haiku 48-54 Strolling Along Palm Beach

palm trees silhouette
against ocean's pastel hues
sunset's soft glow


misty horizon
oceans seperate his palm
from my tear
 


my floating sandal-
tumbling waves break
upon the shore



floating bubbles
before i tossed my pebble
dad breaks wind at sea




waves lilt upon the sand
coloured corals crunch
between our toes



low tide
dawn's golden shimmer reveals
a  coral reef




the tempest
a lone ship fades
in the mist




not for the contest but tnks Heather 
Ober and participating friends for 
the ocean haiku inspiration

Isaiah Zerbst May 20, 2013 at 10:05 AM Fabulous haiku as always. Your last one there is chillingly good. I like them all though; couldn't pick a favourite. ~I got the subtle little hint in your last comment. I'm working on it. Thanks a million for your committed devotion to my humble work. See you around like a donut!

Painted Hunter May 20, 2013 at 6:42 AM Hi Charma!

Matthew Anish May 17, 2013 at 4:39 PM Sweer short tales of the seashore here! Keep it up! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Timothy Hicks May 12, 2013 at 9:32 AM Well you seem to have been crazy inspired by the Oceanku contest (whether or not you actually participated in it). These were fantastic! The five-year-old in me is drawn towards the fourth one... about your dad "breaking wind"... LOL! Though the last one is definitely the most traditional... keeping to the short and concise side of haiku. It's a good skill to have... thanks for sharing these little gems!

Andrea Dietrich May 11, 2013 at 11:43 PM wow, Charma, and are you asking us our favorites when you say or or or? I can tell you the best one for me is the second. It creates a unique visual. I like all the rest very much and found the breaking wind one to be hilarious.

Painted Hunter April 22, 2013 at 7:18 AM Charma, spectacular as always!...I got a laugh out of number 4. :)

Anne-Lise Andresen April 21, 2013 at 6:01 AM - They are all well written Charma .... but if I got to pick one - I choose: number one! - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

Jeremy Martin April 20, 2013 at 9:54 AM 'coloured corals crunch', such vivid alliterations! Very evocative of being with the ocean, really good. Have a lovely rest of the weekend, Charmaine. ~Jeremy

Poet Tacito April 19, 2013 at 9:59 AM Give me a good beach & crashing waves any day. This was heart-warming, to say the least.

Heather Ober April 19, 2013 at 9:44 AM Charma! You are an incredibly talented haiku writer!!! There are a few spots left in my contest - You should pick one of these to enter. I especially love the one about your floating sandal! :)
