Written for SenHai Saturday where our host,
Susi asks us to write a senryu and haiku using
the image shown below as inspiration.
old cliffs stand unmoved ….
the sea has been throwing fits
since before sunrise
⌘ ⌘⌘
wave breaks into gold
the rock asks nothing of it
spray and silence, gone

The first one especially–the old cliff rolls it eyes and thinks ‘here we go again’ Such an image! Wonderful, Nancy.
