summer seashore treasures
summer rocky beach
seashells hide in frothy tides -
barnacles scrape knees
basket filled with gifts
sea life gone now but lives on -
treasures of the sea

Summer Haiku

Form: Haiku
I see a footbridge high above a gorge.
One bannister is gone; the other lies
on narrow rotting boards. Rough waters surge
beneath this passageway that creaks and sighs
in answer to footfalls of children who,
while clinging to each other, move ahead
with wary steps toward home and suppertime
and hope they'll soon be safely tucked in bed.
These innocents are not alone. Unknown
to them, an angel stands close by to keep
them safe from peril that could plunge them to
the depths. Tonight no one will grieve and weep.
