The sea for One Deep Breath

Hello, from the other shore!
I think you are a person who loves the sea! Your images are very lovely.
So many different bodies of water described in these beautiful hiakus...
i can see and feel and taste the sea... beautiful!
As I have always loved the sea, I think these haikus do full justice.
The last is so true! A fabulous seashell under water loses its luster when it's dry.

I particularly enjoyed the above two. The first calls up such a striking visual image. The second is so evocative of possibility....
i enjoyed the flashes of colour and, like Colorful Prose, i thought the dull-dried shells were a great touch!
Lovely images from the sea -- a refreshing 'turquoise' read.
and I have never forgotten
'The Fugitive Pieces' -- one of my favorite books too.
Reading these was like taking a long walk along the shore - every one of them evokes such lovely images and sounds.
Beautiful!
Sandy - yes i love the sea!
Regina, Polona, Gautami - thanks!
Colourful Prose, unfolding rose - yes, I'm been so often disappointed by the dullness of the seashells when they dry...
Roswila, Becca - thanks
Nonizamboni - glad you also love Fugitive Pieces!
Juliet,
I do enjoy reading the sea's reflection in your haiku. nicely done.
rel
I adore your simplicity and yet you captured so much with these. You brought a lot to the senses. Very nice!
I confess I don't like the sea, but I loved your visions of its beauty.
i love the unpredictable & unexplainable magic that just happens sometimes when two words sit next to each other...salt tang...yep.
