Sara, your haikus are truly magnificent. They capture the essence of life's ever-changing nature, much like the rhythmic ebb and flow of the vast ocean, which is nourished by the meandering streams that flow into it. These profound verses hold a depth of meaning that resonates with all who encounter them, providing a source of joy and contemplation for everyone.

So true and i always love an ocean themed poem, your haikus are just brilliant and you convey so many messages and thoughts through your words which i think is one of the reasons and more such as the flow of your lines, how you use words that fit the theme of the haikus, and how descriptive they are is why you will forever be my queen of haiku! Whenever things get challenging u just float sky gaze and let the waves and tides carry me … its a beautiful feeling.. Love love this!

dearest Ink--your comments mean so much to me! I love the ocean (although I don't live near one). I find oceans captivating, symbolic, freeing, and inspirational. I'm grateful you see the 'layers' of understanding I try to create with some of my poems like this one. I'm delighted and honored to be your Haiku Queen. Your comments make my day. Enjoy your Sunday evening, Sara

thanks for stopping by, Victor. I appreciate your kind words about my Haikus. I struggled for some time in crafting them. I can't tell you how many I tossed in the trash or deleted from my computer. I stuck with it and am now a tad more comfortable. Haikus aren't everyone's cup of tea so to speak :-) Enjoy your Sunday, Sara

Very nice haiku's, Sara. Somehow and some reason, life and water seem as one. Don't ask me why but they seem like a marriage made in heaven. Keep writing, dear friend. Charlie
