pebbles in the tide
my regrets lose
their rough edges

    Lovely evocation of the healing power of time. The image of erosion through the use of water and stone is a perfect fit.

    Excellent haiku Joan. A perfect "everyday" observation from nature with a powerful application to the human condition.
    I also like how the "shape" of the poem has been also eroded, to a 5-4-4 syllable count, matching the subject.
    Clever and profound. Great poetry Joan.
