5 HAIKU [ in progress ]

Last Saturday, I took a stroll down by the pier as the tide was almost fully out. These five haiku in progress attempt to capture what was happening as I stood at the end of the pier wall.

Oystercatcher's Kittiwake's
wade beside old tyres

2.
on crumbling wet sand
Oystercatcher's Kittiwake's wade
tide rolls over tyres

3.
tide rolls over tyres
Oystercatcher's Kittiwake's
on crumbling sandbanks

4.
beneath rolling tide
abandoned tyres catch the ebb
Oystercatcher's watch

5.
stand on pier wall
departing tide over tyres
one Kittiwake watches
