Oh ! retreating waves
lonely beach has lost its soul
empty shells, silent
Carpe Diem’s new feature ‘Vision Quest’ is on the second day and the inspiration being this one, a wonderful haiku from Chèvrefeuille
next to my footprint
the empty shell of a hermit crab –
Ah! what a sadness
(c) Chèvrefeuille (2012)

There is an innate beauty in the few words you’ve put up as a haiku. I can almost feel the sound of the waves as I read the lines. Well-written!

So beautiful, the waves which have retrieved left the sands and shells empty and craving more of touch from the waves…

Your writing is special – you need to know that. How much you say in a short simple haiku is a wonder. I never enjoy giving praise ,and think it does not always benefit the search for quality. Here I have to make an exception.
