Kim Merryman Poet Haiku

Land-Ocean

tropical island --
                                                  uninhabited by man
                                                    virgin land awaits

                                                 ocean's vast expanse --
                                        crashing waves and gentle swells
                                                    contrast in motion

                                            unseen shoal wrecks ship --
                                              island becomes a haven
                                                land and sea conspire

Robert Pettit January 26, 2012 at 11:29 PM That ship must have been the SS Minnow, and now Gilligan, the Skipper, and five other people inhabit that tropical island. Good trio of haiku Kim.
