:
The Ocean's Heart

ocean's heart
beats to rhythm of summer winds
with a tempestuous laugh
boisterous waves
call out as they crash
against the shoreline
traveling white clouds
seem to wave goodbye
as they pass us by
seagulls screech
circling over picnic baskets
of featherless chumps

Author Notes
Boisterous = noisily turbulent
Tempestuous = stormy
Contemporary Haiku is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection. The most common literary adaptation in English of haiku looks something like this: one to four lines, no strict syllable count but brief. These poems too utilize a dash before the satori. Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured. Is okay to use poetic devices.
EXAMPLE:
in the woodpile
the broken ax handle
