Nice use of few words and syllables that a haiku restricts. Good write.

Lovely imagery: her body contours, her exquisite lines imprinted, by the Sun's great power, onto the surface of disappearing waves...whereupon, holding a reflection of her beauty within these glistening waters for all eternity. Enjoyed! :) john

A sunset captured in so few words... This haiku feels like a sigh at the end of day--quiet, golden, and full of unspoken feeling. I can see her silhouette in that glow, framed by waves and sky. Thank you for the calm this brought to my evening.

The momentary visual expanded on each line pulsing with the build up vibes with an incoming-waves like attentiveness to what is artfully unpacking a natural progression. The succession of the expanse is awesome.
