writing a haiku
in the sand. . .
a wave finishes it

Thank you. This poem speaks well for itself.
writing ~
the sky writer
in need of an eraser
—
through the forest
the trees …
silver lining, beneath the clouds
reaching up
not hands
my eyes
After the wave
on the Golden Sands
a deleted letter
haiku waiting to be written —
speechless observer
–
piebald light cross the horizon
heralds the dawn —
misty valley
-Where are the sand-castles?
-We don’t know! are talking
the wind and the waves
lazy winter day:
clouds my easel
during the spring
