Very moving haiku, Susan. The combination of the deep blue and chill sea "reconnecting our core" resonates perfectly with me. I can feel it! Congrats on your well deserved first-place trophy. ~ Gershon

Congratulations Susan. great juxtaposition, super haiku! In this 2ist century, haiga can now be photos, which in turn are accompanied by a haiku. I personally would love it even more if it had stuck to tradition, but hey ho. again modernist have their way.

Thank you. I did that at first, then read directions again, so changed it. Am confused so asked. I'm thinking the haigu is to be used when it's not a photo, you know, a hand drawing of sorts. Anyway, thanks for commenting. Always appreciated.

We all came from the sea, and it connects all of us - so elegant, good luck in the contest!

It does, doesn't it? I agree with Caren, a 'perfect summation' of ocean-feel. Good luck in all things including the contest. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
