The Beach

On a lonely beach

As ocean waves washed my feet

A gull called to me


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this haiku many years ago for a creative writing class in college.  It is about an experience I had while walking on a beach in Santander, Spain.

That Hiku is nice. Its like the kind that let you picture whatever you want. I think it is real nice. Take a look at some of my poems if you like.
