Seashells

The hiss of the sea,
From the hollow of a shell;
Soft ocean whispers.

What a beautiful poem, Raul! You are so gifted! And I just learned today is your birthday. Wish I could sing "Happy Birthday" to you, but you're probably better off that I can't. (Not a great singer.) But my best wishes go out to a Super Souper, Raul! Love, Carolyn

You're spot on with your observations in this poem. When I think of the sounds coming from a shell, whispers is so fitting. Interesting use of this short form. Thank you for sharing this haiku with us and for your kind comments on my lanterne. Keep on writing! Blessings to you. Karen
