Welcome Beacon Guides

sudden storm at sea
ship’s compass spinning around –
waves thrashing my boat

welcome beacon guides
to shore as if to heaven –
lighthouse shows the way

One thing Michigan has is lighthouses, many of them. Here's hoping that wonderful light will shine on you in your troubled days. Love, daver

A perfect Haiku! My favorite line"..."ships compass spinning around-" I love the suggestion...beacon-to-heaven. Very well done my friend. CR

I can believe that. You are quite the seafarer, Carolyn. I just got on your blog for the heck of it a coupe days ago and saw your happy face knuckling on to those big fish! Cool! Good luck in the contest.
