purple sunrise dawns
ripples on a mountain lake  
lap against the shore

Ewww, my mind went to licks the shore, lacking one syl which wouldn't be hard to come up with. Yours is beautiful as is, just gave me an idea that I'll not use because I'll forget it when I click byebye. Can have it if you want BUT again, your Haiku shines against for shore. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

This is nice, David. My unpoetic imagination could only conjure up a bottle of Ripple lapping down my fevered throat...

Thanks, Gershon. I like yours better! Mine is what I can remember of a fishing trip with my dad about a million years ago.
