Anchor Watch Haikus: Aug. 23/24
Elderhostel Voyage aboard Adventuress
San Juan Islands
the generator stopped
now the silence can be heard
how many night sounds remain
new constellation
forming in my memory
over my new home
black back white night flanks
our ship sleeps, one eye open
like a drowsy whale
syllabic restrictions
makes this not a haiku
grasshopper goes chirp
gentle fish swished ripple
discordant heron crank
silent cacophony of shooting stars
not green not green yes white
bearing to check throughout the night
watch for falling stars
I was there!
