Nice work. He probably recognizes your teeth. :)
So funny a haiku!
afternoon waves~~~
the falling sun
shadows the sand
How fun your haiku. What David said is true I think. At a party, my dentist recognized my teeth when I smiled. Loved this one.
As I see above, Sally, a nifty tanka; that "on the beach" link… from one time, to another. _m
