conch shell on the shore
awaits waves from the ocean,
fishnets from boat falls
~0~0
stones and shells
fill the crystal vase,
empty shore

I like your haiku today. I collect shells and other things from the beach where ever I find one - beach that is :-) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAt first, there seems to be just a lovely description of the seashore. But the last haiku secretes a suggestion that if we take the treasures of the seashore away and attempt to own them, then the beauty of the shore is no more.
ReplyDeleteStealing the shells from the beach, how dare you..haha...but they are decorative.
ReplyDeleteFeel I am on the beach from your delightful haiku ~thanks, namaste, ^_^
ReplyDeleteSecond one is excellent.. RS:)
ReplyDeleteLove your second haiku!
ReplyDeletea bit of sea caught in a crystal vase!
ReplyDeleteyour Haiku is refreshing to my senses as I read and imagined myself picking up one of them and enjoying the seashore..visiting you Ms.Grace ;)
ReplyDeleteThe second one is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine your vase full of shells and stones!
I like the second one a lot. I have several dishes and vases of shells but you're right. You just can't capture the seashore and take it home.
ReplyDeleteNice! You do haiku well, Grace.
ReplyDeletei like gemma's thoughts on this...our treasures sometimes do lose their magic when we separate them...and sometimes they keep just a glimmer....smiles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful haiku....I loved second one more! :)
ReplyDeletecaptured the seashore to a "t"
ReplyDeletethank you for the lovely words.
