Well back from the shore
My little boat calls sweetly
Coyly, the tide turns….
Prompt words: Well and sweet
This is a photo I took from the ramparts of St Malo. When the tide comes in all of the little flotilla of boats ventures out and flits about the magical islands just off the shore. You could sit for hours just watching them glide about in the ever changing light.
Lovely to see some Tanka comprising some of the compositions this week from Last Week’s prompt (CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT)

And a haibun from Reena as well so poignant and telling. The accompanying description is food for thought indeed!

Such colorful little boats–what a pretty sight that must be to watch them from the shore!

Nothing to do with Saint-Malo, boats, or even water come to that.
