: The Ocean's Heart by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
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:
