I have attempted to reedit two lines of my haiku verse above, they are: "Like big Japanese waves", which I had planned to supplant for "Like a big Japanese wave" & "not surrendering" for "no surrendering". (I wished to revert to my previous unpublished edits, for a more honest approach in composing my haiku poems. Those are part of some of the unpublished lines that I originally typed (i.e., not wrote). But, just recently (because this reedition was long overdue), I decidedly wanted to reedit only the previous line. I am also thinking it is a better practice for me when I get to my senses more accurately.
In the same vein, I have attempted to revise the content several times before posting it. In fact, several factors (or influences) were probably affecting my poems (e.g., Pessoa's poetics, as shared by someone publicly). I would also like to not to deny the restrictions of Japanese haiku syllabications & other standards of a "classical haiku" that I needed to adhere to in the very first posting (which is why it contained an error, a line that I also reedited several times before posting because it deviates from the 5-7-5 structure). You can witness below the unedited version, that I retained for the purposes of copy editing. Thank you for reading on.
Previous unedited, retained version of the verse:
Grey skies engulf them
Like big Japanese waves
—not surrendering
