TJ’s Household Haiku

20Aug 2017

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!
