Coastal crimes

Hope you get the taste of coastal-scape through these haikus!

. 

1.

Wave makes a plush sound 

to please subdued seashore, to

abduct solitude. 

2.

Tides are being bribed at 

the slanted sand to falsely

accuse time of theft.

3.

A chunk of offing

invades the cavity of 

seashells to own fate.

Okay! You've thrown down the gauntlet. Anyone who does haiku after reading this will have to up their game. This is incredibly fresh writing! Thousands write about the sea, but I've never seen it done with so much originality . . . "plush sound" . . . "subdued seashore" . . . "tides bribed" . . . it goes on & on. Ways to describe that scene, which make it a completely different scene than one expects. Also I love it when haikus are clustered. I never get enuf with just one haiku! This is top notch writing! Thanks for a pleasure with my morning coffee (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I really wasn't sure if it will be a fun read but your positive words made me confident about it. Thank you so much for the praise. You're really sweet! Take lots of love and *hugs*

Utterly Brilliant, because that's what you are.
The last one, I may have to think about a little more before I get it.

[moog-drika]

Thanks so much for taking a "voyage" to the piece. Glad to know it makes you think..:D exactly what I wanted.

[light and ashes]

Someone as smart as you, is bound to do that.

Your poem is a beautiful and evocative exploration of the natural world and the complex interplay of sound, motion, and emotion. The first stanza, with its description of the wave making a plush sound to please the subdued seashore and abduct solitude, is particularly striking and speaks to a sense of longing and desire. The second stanza, with its imagery of tides being bribed to falsely accuse time of theft, is a powerful reminder of the ways in which the natural world can be manipulated and controlled. The final stanza, with its description of a chunk of offing invading the cavity of seashells to own fate, is a poignant reflection on the fragility of life and the ways in which we are all subject to forces beyond our control. Overall, your poem is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of the natural world and the ways in which we are all connected to it.

Hey, thanks again for all the interpretations you shared on my poetry.

I choose this writing cause a title. All these 3 haikus are like stages of sensing of sea and coasts. I like how you put human emotions into nature and is resonating with wonder. I can feel all textures and all tastes like I was standing at shore. So well done here.

[moog-drika]

Thank you so much. I was thinking of requesting you to go through this write since you love beach as well. So happy you stepped here before my request. Thanks a bunch :D

[Neville]

I am impressed
I am sure glad I took a little deviation from my original coastal path.. Full marks from me and true :)

[moog-drika]

You have no idea how much these words mean to me. So glad to have got full marks :'D thanks a bunch

[Neville]

you are more than welcome my fine literary friend :)

A seascape, of poetic solitude. Thanks for the vacation, in words :)

[moog-drika]

Thank you so much for taking a ride. It means a lot.

The title is dope and there is a hypnotic feel through out. I really like it.

[moog-drika]

Thought the write will eradicate my frustrations over not being able to be in beach, but it didn't. Thanks so much for the praise. It means a lot. :'D

[duff]

You are very welcome.

Love the title. Writing as I'm reading them. Seems like Godfather.
Haikus? Now the title's more of an introspection.
This one's nice. I haven't been to coasts in a while. I don't think they abduct solitude. They make us feel like a pin in this cardboard.
This one's better, accusing time ammuses me.
So that's why coastal crimes, it's not just about accusations, it's about waters.
I feel grateful we, as a poet, have seas. Waters's always a reflection of reality.
Yes, I could taste them.

[moog-drika]

I am more of a beach person so it helps me feel happy by abducting solitude. But I get your view as well.
I agree that water is a reflection of reality, but one advantage we as a poet have is we can make it a reflection of many other matters. I think.
But thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It actually gave me more dimensions to explore. So glad you got the taste of them. It just made my day :'D

I live on an island bereft of sand beaches- we're a rocky tumble down kind of people- and I'm pretty sure the North Atlantic is perpetually pissed off...so this was wonderful for me. The image of a different seascape- a cousin coast. Lovely imagery and a stunning use of haiku structure. Easily my favorite read in days. Thank you for this and I look forward to reading more of your work. Cheers!

[moog-drika]

I would really like to see North Atlantic getting pissed off. Everything about nature and its mood makes me more curious about it. That's like a show you get to watch for free, sometimes (since I need to pay money to get to coastal areas).
Anyways, thanks so much for your review as well as the praise. They mean a lot! :'D

[Lorry]

I like them all, but after deliberations, uhmming and ahhing, number two' theft of time wins in a photo finish.
Maybe it's because of our current predicament of covid stealing so much time from everyone.
Enjoyed them all.

[moog-drika]

I know! I am longing for nature around us :'(
Staying inside home feels like the time has stopped. Thank you so much for the praise. It means a lot. ^_^

[Lorry]

You're welcome.

[Robert Trakofler]

what is that image? I like it! These are clever and very emotionally evocative! I have had to re read them several times to fully take in the image and feel and the fun thing is how they resonate with each other changing the overall feeling:)

[moog-drika]

I actually wanted my readers to feel this. So glad you felt that! Thank you so much for your words.
Are you asking about the image I posted or the one I showed through write? :D

[Robert Trakofler]

Was asking about The picture? I like the pic! I think I felt the poetic image:)
