   I haven't been around jettys at midnight only a dock/harbour on New Year's Eve. :-)

   Pero’s Bridge –
   the dock’s ice gathers
   new year resolutions

   I’ve only written a single jetty haiku, with a touch of humor:

   passing marshfields –
   through a dirty train window
   a jetty of yachts

   And a few harbour and dock ones…

   dockside dredger
   undulating reflections
   between night showers

   floating harbour
   a sunfall’s last glints over
   wind dimpled water

   "Sound in haiku" was the theme of the recent Haiku Northwest retreat in Seabeck, Washington. So I particularly appreciate this vivid haiku, Kala.

   Deptford Creek
   the slap of dark water
   as the tide turns.

    Ha! Gisele,
    Thank you so much :))
    This is one of my favourites.
    I remember, I did work for a long time to get this right :)

    'Slap' is exactly the verb that is needed to describe the sound of water hitting water at a jetty. Great sound and vision used to create atmosphere in this one, Kala.

    Marion,

    Thank you so much for your appreciation.
    All art heavily depends on this 'pat' on the back.

    Thanks Sheila,

    Yes, I remember Susan Constable saying she conducted it.
    Happy you could relate to this so effortlessly
