Thank you, Gaby. Appreciate you comments.
I enjoyed your haiku very much. It zipped me right back to childhood, and Gaby's comment above is spot on.
Thank you, MaryJo, glad you enjoyed it!
Much enjoyed. Nicely done, Dan.
Thank you, Kala!
A beautiful haiku with the touch of lightness (karumi).

the kids play and dance
under the twilight sky
counting the waves
and counting the stars
return with a pocketful of shells

Thank you, Pravat! And thank you for sharing two of your poems. They are lovely.
Lovely haiku, refreshing and evocative. Mary Jo and Gaby's thoughts also mirror my own.
