    The sound of waves are always so blissful. Loved your Haiku, especially the ocean heartbeat!

    What a haiku for now I want to go to a beach and watch the ocean. Great job.

  • ❤️❤️ Raymond, this Haiku is exquisite. I was struck by the Assonance in the first line; the way the long vowels in "Shoreline" and "day" frame the tight, clipped sound of "windless" made the moment feel frozen in time.
