at the seashore
wind of summer through my hair
the shortest night

© Chèvrefeuille

gulls float on air around me

sand crunches under my feet

~

the moon cools the sand

sea glass twinkles in my eyes

my toes get wet

how I wish you were here

to share this enchantment

~

salty air lingers

breezes waft o’er the tide

a crab scurries

you didn’t like seafood

told me it was too musky

~

the foghorn bellows

as the mist comes in to land

the clang of the buoys

perfect moments to snuggle

yet alone to find comfort

~

flames up ahead

warmth in the chilled air

roasted marshmallows

thoughts of our honeymoon

we were young, free and in love

~

stars guide seafarers

a ship on the horizon

it makes no sound

we never took a cruise

preferred the feet for travel

~

surf pounds the shore

waves crash on jagged rocks

sharp barnacles grow

~

the shortest night filled with loss

the seashore is still my home

Down Memory Lane at Carpe Diem

http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com/2016/01/carpe-diem-special-191-trip-along.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CarpeDiemHaikuKai+%28CARPE+DIEM+HAIKU+KAI%29

“The goal of this feature is to write a Soliloquy no Renga, a Renga composed by one person. With this feature it is possible to help you to be more associative, because you have to compose an all new renga with at least six (6) links.As you all know a renga has stanzas of three and two lines. The first verse “hokku” gives the title to the renga and sets the entire image of your renga. By association on the verse before the verse you have to write you can make the renga a complete story. The Soliloquy no Renga is just for fun and I hope it will bring you the fun and inspiration as I had in mind. You can choose on your own how much links you use, but at least (as I said above) six (6) links. The last link has to make the “circle complete” and in that way has a link with the first verse. That last verse is called “ageku”.
