Haiku Heights April Challenge, day 9 "seashore"


Hello to you all, challengers of Haiku Heights. Today I have to come up with a good one. Why? Because I suggested the prompt for today. Seashore ... what can I do with this prompt? Enough I think, but still had some trouble to write a nice haiku set for today.
I am living in The Netherlands and as no other country can, we the dutch know what it is to live at the seashore. Our country is a low country and we are continuing our fight to the sea. The seashore to me is a place to contemplated and meditate. The sound of the waves breaking on the beach ... the rustling of the wind ... seagulls screaming ... ah what a wonderful place to be.

Well let's go do some haiku writing. Again I have chosen for the cascading form (Ramesh you made me an addictive to that form). I love that cascading form, looks like the movement of the waves.

together again
walking along the seashore
sea wind through my hair

walking along the seashore
sea wind through my hair
writing paper and pencil
against my heart

against my heart
a picture of my wife
together again

This was my contribution to the Haiku Heights April Challenge for today. See you again tomorrow.
