Category: Beach

Some of these beach haiku were written by random trips to beach.

Most of these are part of a series based on afternoons spent at the beach on Hilton Head Island with my pad out ( a real paper note pad), hoping for words with my iPhone camera handy to add illustration to my thoughts.
I wanted to see if I would be ‘inspired’ by what I saw, by what I heard, by what I smelled, by what I tasted, what I felt emotionally and what I felt tactilely.

Some turned out okay.

Some were too forced.

Some were just bad.

Some did involve some or all of those feelings.

As far as it goes, I guess I was inspired by by what I saw, by what I heard, by what I smelled, by what I tasted, what I felt emotionally and what I felt tactilely.

Please aware that most of these haiku were NOT WRITTEN on the date in the title – for an explanation of this please see The Series link in the navigation table.

9.21.2020 – what is in the sky

what is in the sky
beckoning, what does it say
to me all the while

Adapted from the passage:

Father what is that in the sky beckoning to me with long finger?
And what does it say to me all the while?

In the Poem Song of the Banner at Daybreak by Walt Whitman

One of series of Haiku from Poem Song of the Banner at Daybreak by Walt Whitman.

This is a series of Haiku written just to fill out days I missed back in 2020 to fill in the gaps.

Forgive this vanity that I want a long strong of continued posts.

divider daybreak
cutting the air, touch’d by sun
