low-tide
the busyness
of sand fleas
01. Andrea Gradidge, CA
one wave
after another—
periwinkles
# 07. Alexander "Lex" Joy
hundreds of
turtles
on the Galapagos beach—
new life just begins
# 10. Andrzej
Dembończyk, PL
I like this;
the last line does not provide the aha but a
continuation...
hundreds of
turtles
on the Galapagos beach—
new sun
This sun is
new to the day and also the newborn turtles; line three
provides a nice aha....a suggestion...
beach erosion—
trucks full of sand
rolling in
# 11. Betty Kaplan, US
hot beach
stones—
I try to follow
the broken path
# 12. Saša Važič, Serbia
Yes, I caught
the humor....
glittering
sunlight
bouncing up and down
a beach ball
# 26. Keith A. Simmonds, TT
Grand Anse—
Shaking the towel sand
back to the beach
# 32. Gillena Cox, TT
the winding
road
to Maracas beach
smell of the sea
# 34. Gillena Cox, TT
he name
Maracas gave this a fun sound effect as I read it...a
happy beat...
beach walking—
out loud I calculate
Fibonacci Numbers
# 38. Krzysztof Kokot, PL
I like the
idea of walking or traveling and calculating numbers, time
poetry ....
sandy beach—
a bare-bottomed toddler
chasing sandpipers
# 40. Terri French, US
beach reading—
the sandcrab's black eyes
peer at me
# 44. Terri French, US
I really like
the idea of this....sort of sizing up the aha...so to
speak...
How
irresistibly cute!
behind the
fence
seal pups sunning—
someone’s cell phone
# 48. Neal Whitman, US
I would love
to comment in depth one each entry...but time does not
permit me to do so...but I like the verbal and non verbal
communication...or sound to soundless ...nature /
technology.
surreys,
bikes, kayaks
for rent at Lovers Point shack—
“No Lifeguard on Duty”
# 52. Neal Whitman, US
The no life
guard on duty...seems to pull all the choices together in
this haiku.
deserted
beach—
among the acacia leaves
a swallow sings
# 75. Maria Tirenescu, RO
