Ron has really got me scratching my head this week to think of a suitable Haiku (actually, mine are never suitable) which uses ‘tide’ and ‘flesh’ for his weekly Haiku Poetry Challenge
This is what I came up with:
Heaving, at high tide
waves crashing and battering
Strips flesh from frail bones.

I won’t say it’s beautiful but striking indeed 😛
Picture is nice!
LOve and light ❤
Anand 🙂

Gosh – powerful and strong Eddie!
You Haiku makes me think of the refugees drowning in the Med. How my heart aches to feel so impotent in the face of this crisis for humanity. It amazes me how these emotions can be stirred by so few words – these Haikus have power.

It is a dreadful, awful situation, and ironic that the very sea so many used for pleasure, swimming and frolicing can claim so many lives.

Judy E Martin
Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
