Thanks Nancy! That haiku was born this morning from the pain of NaNo work. I’m trying to keep up with my word count goal (1700) every day, but today’s achievement so far is nothing to be proud of 😦
We had a picnic on the beach today. The gulls wanted to share our lunch. One hovered over head staring at my sandwich. Another swooped in close enough to rake through my hair.
Oh I can see them swooping close to your head when a sandwich was within reach! The other day I saw them hanging around pelicans who were diving for fish…when they finally came up, the gulls were after their hard earned fish…
It’s funny how many things suddenly pop into mind when one starts writing. One memory leads to another. I did do some night writing last night and I’m hoping for enough “pop-ups” to make up a full length book 🙂
It’s not bad…but I’m still lagging a bit behind schedule to reach at least 50,000 words by the end of the month…and this weekend, when our son will visit, not much will get written. Priorities 🙂

Nice pairing of pic with poem!

Once we finished eating, they behaved better.

Love your words. Like the photo, too!
Words born out of a writer’s pain 🙂 Thanks Eric.
Love this and what a superb photo!
Thanks Kathy! I caught many small feet the other day on the beach.
You’ve found 18, 000 plus words so far; that’s not bad at all.

Perhaps some potential illustrations will be discussed?
Great haiku. I really like the connection between finding words and the ocean. Lovely!
Thank you Otto, much appreciated.
Another beautiful picture sweet Tiny. You are so good at putting words in poetry to go with your pictures. Hugs
Happy you enjoyed the “little feet”. The Willets and other little shore birds are running so fast that it’s difficult to keep up with them 🙂
Lovely! I LOVE options! 🙂
Me too! I hope there’ll be enough to choose from to get my book finished 🙂
Oooh – way to go!!!
