Nice my LADY OF BERKSHIRE. a very rewarding Haiku. I'm so wordy I fail miserably at such preciseness. It's such an interesting thought that goes against the way things are: Salty water on the move makes the reflections . . . but your poem challenges the natural course of things . . . you think like a poet!!!

Tom it pleases me no end if you say I think like a poet. You couldn't have said anything nicer. Thank you so much for your words and your visit.

Loved this, Chris, there really is a zen Buddhist living inside of you, lol

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks gram linski. That pleases me no end. I like Buddhist thinking :)

Such a delightful painting of a picture with words. I could be there, touching those waters. Awesome, Chris!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you DIVYA, love the amber lights relecting on the water's surface. Quite mesmerising. Thank you for your visit.

The play of light on the water comes through stunningly and in such few words! Just superb. You’re welcome dear Chris 💕

Christine,
was this written while eating lunch by a bay or spontaneously or driving by something?
It is sweet and lovely. so many experiences are made to touch us in the moment.
Blessings in the beauty of the day in and day out.

Dear Kathy, it was written late at night whilst perusing the harbour through the window of a holiday cottage. Many thanks for calling.

That is great. You needed that time to feel special and find some solitude...we must enjoy when we can for sure! Have a great rest of the week.

Ah such a wonderful picture you present. Reminds me of Cornwall or Brittany and many a day sitting watching the harbour in Fowey. Lovely senryu Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you John. It is Brixham in Devon I write about, but it could of course by any harbour, and Cornwall too is truly beautiful.

Chris

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah yes Devon/Cornwall and many ports around the world. Enjoy.

actually this is a really nice visual, Chris.

well done Haiku.

Thank you Jacob. Smiling at your response. Yes agitating can take on different meanings :)
