Bob and Billow | Haiku

Poetry 1 Minute

Good morning folks,

A busy few weeks have meant that I’ve neglected WordPress, but I’m pleased to be back with a couple of salt-encrusted haiku.

Bob

Barnacled bottomed,

Fishing boat bobbing on rock.

Gulls palm the salt air.

Billow

Sky as wide as eyes.

Billowed sheets snap in the wind.

Time and wave pound on.

*Thanks for reading, folks. Images courtesy of Rennett Stowe and Zuckerschnecker.*
