Stephen Barry Poet Haiku

Seafaring Haikus

Sunrise at Sea

past salt sight sun rises
rubs the whitecaps from her eyes
stretches forever

# 34

air heavy with spice 
salt crisp on my  lips and mind
eyes blinded by stars

Exile

callous bejeweled 
I’m keeping secrets hidden 
salt upon my skin

Gulf of Mexico

watching the moon set
sinking into the Black Sea
orange slice slowly

Red Sky at Night

Sailors delight night
waking in strangest place
I did it sideways

#35

now too long at sea
always another gangway
now too long on land

Port of Call

if my ship comes in
sails slow into your harbor
will you be waiting
