The guess the famous scene in "From Here to Eternity" caused more problems than the studio cared to admit. Nonetheless, it remains one of the best films ever.

    Yes, Mark, that scene also caused problems for lovers who tried to emulate one of the best movies ever. Thank you for your review.

A new and realistic take on this famous movie scene. The effects of this liaison when they get up to go, sand in the bathing suits.

Keep writing

Joan

    Yes, Joan, we don't think of the sand in our bathing suits until we begin to scratch. Ouch! Thank you for your review.

Great black and white photo of love on the beach. I enjoyed how you described this in so few words. Nice reference to the lovely Frank Sinatra song.

    Oh, thank you, Robina, for your review. I kept saying to myself that I wanted to write a summer love haiku that got under the reader's skin, and then I thought of Sinatra's song, and, BINGO, itch itch itch scratch ouch.

    Thanks again.

quite humorous
I like the Haiku especially as the last line does a final summing up almost like the Senryu
the strength in the nature rather than the emotion/feeling
but just as powerful
have a smiley day

    Oh, thank you, smileycloud, for your review which made me smile. Yes, my poem is almost like the Senryu as the Haiku Club presents challenges on human things for this book rather than nature. Thanks again.

Hahahaha...and just where might that sand be winding up, Andre?
Your kigo is quite obvious for this haiku, given the topic.
The syllable count comes in right at 17, well within the limits imposed by the haiku for.
The soundtrack was fitting, funny, and apropos for this particular haiku.
I enjoyed reading it immensely.

    Oh, thank you, Dean, for your generous review and for teaching me six months ago how to insert music! I am glad my gritty poem made you laugh.
