Challenge #15: Ocean Haikus

[Fluffy]

Ocean Haikus​

Not long ago, I was reminiscing about my old home, where you can smell and taste the ocean in the air. Thought it would do me some good write a poem or two on it, so I shall ask the rest of you to do the same. :]

I've thrown some curveballs in some of the more recent challenges. I'll make a simpler request this time around: a haiku. Short and sweet, but certainly not easy to write. In case you don't remember the syllable count is 5/7/5. Three lines long, seventeen syllables in all. Make one, make two, make a dozen! Whatever floats your boat. ;D

Here's a pair of examples for your convenience:

Haikus!

Pink cherry blossoms
Cast shimmering reflections
On seas of Japan


salt-waves caress sand
tickling my toes and heart
in their short-spun wake

 

[Fluffy]

I Miss it So

Peaceful are the waves,
and brisk is the salty air
How I miss it so


Liquid Sapphire

Dozens of treasures
locked within liquid sapphire;
At a loss for words

 

[DrPepper]

Seashells
Azure waves rolling,
Cresting and breaking upon
A shore of seashells.

Drowning
Drifting deeper with
A current growing ever
Insurmountable.

Yarr
Upon the high seas
A captain and his mateys
Yearn for your treasure.

Brewing a Storm
Dark blankets the sky.
Pure water is corrupted
Turning black as night.

 

[noodle]

It ebbs and it flows,
Endless dance under dark skies,
Sweeping sand away.

 

[Doctor Jax]

softly lapping feet
the waves tickle my soft toes
an old friend's greeting

 

[PoetLore]

colors blaze chills embrace
signalling the end of fall
as winter begins

 

[Anguissette]

Rolling waves thunder
Coaxing, calling, exciting
Pouncing on my toes
