Sand and stone beneath the sky
The shrinking beach lies

I thank you.
Though the haiku can’t be seen until a click and click again on the photo. Why’d that happen? I’ve noticed it on others’ sites too.

I didn’t have that problem. It could be browser specific I’m using Firefox?

Seems so. I use Google Chrome. I came loaded, and I’m to lazy to change it.

What is unseen, below, is sometimes the most interesting thing, as in your photo and your haiku.

Agreed. Though in this instant, I know that beach. Yep, stony and sandy; the stones almost all are tumbled-smooth flints. Very occasionally you might find a scrap of flint, though don’t be deceived, it could be sea-coal; and even more rare are drops of amber. But then, once in a very rare time there’ll be fossils of woolly rhinoceros or a cave lion, or even an early hominid.

Unfortunately, it’s not my local beach. But then, I suppose I wouldn’t appreciate it so much if it was.

That’s what I say to myself every time I visit the ocean, and then have to go back to my “reality” of hard earth.

Yea, if it’s there all the time it’s no longer a treat. A bit like marriage!

Haha. Yes. My guy used to travel a lot for business, and friends felt sorry for me. I tried to explain to them that it was a wonderful way for a marriage to stay fresh and snappy!

Likewise, I had a really hot long-term relationship with a fella who worked in petro-chem. 4 months away, 1 month home. Ideal. Especially since I’m content with my own company. 🙂

Thanks, Gaby.
And I’m convinced, now, it’s just a quirk of my system.

I thank you, regards the haiku. And I’m getting the message now. It’s my system that’s kronky.

I swear I’ve a problem with my system. Now your blog won’t accept my comment under my name but twice as labeled me as ‘Unknown’. Ho-hum, eh. 🙂

Love the haiku, Crispina. And a rhyming one too; it has a very soothing rhyming – just like the tide! 🙂

I thank you, Sammi. I do have a preference for rhyme. I’m only happy to ignore it when using iambic pentometers. But then the rhythm carries it. Not that I write that much poetry. 🙂

A soothing haiku with a touch of mystery about the things that lie hidden.
