secret web haven
glistening in morning dew
intention exposed
soul soothing rhythm
welcoming weary traveller
the sound of the sea
spray colour on down
display your royal carpet
jacaranda tree
is this really me
spiking images of blue
visual recording
make a jazz noise here
she swings as good as basie
listening to diane
over and over
musicians inspiration
the turtle dove calls
just as in music
a fascinating rhythm
the sound of the sea
is that a stranger
in moments of reflection
me in the mirror
time for you to go
reflections in the water
waving me goodbye

Thanks Snakeslane, much appreciated. Russ
Very, very nice with wonderful images. Keep up the good work.
words and images,
to carry me through my day...
thank you for sharing!
Thanks Ytsenoh, and thanks Ama, I love it when people respond with haiku. That's nice! Words and images to carry me through my day. Thank you.
Wondrous words winking in and out like sylabic micro-bursts...lifting off the spoken page like a flight of seabirds scattering and chattering before me...I speak your words to the Arizona air and the ocean is there, the sounds and eternal rhythms return...God, I miss the ocean...
Haiku verse reminds...
Combers beat on distant shore...
Their Siren calls pull........................
Seabirds cry with joy...
Speckled sea provides their nest...
All is well at home.........
Thank you, my friend...I thoroughly enjoyed your wonderfully written haiku with my morning coffee...What a delight it was to come back to HubPages after a couple days out of town, and to find your ever thoughtful and evocative haiku waiting for me...Larry
Hi Larry, and thank you my friend. What a delight to find and read out loud, your wonderful words. Your magical hubs are strewn throughout this site within comment boxes. Russ
Delightful poem with awesome pictures. Well done
Hi Ubanichijioke, thank you so much. Russ
Russ, great haiku. Loved the ones related to the sea; it lends itself well to haiku. Was the WAV photo your own voice?
Hi Jools, you are very perceptive. Yes the WAV was a part of my voice recording as I read that haiku. Thank you for your comments, it's great to be appreciated by someone who also writes great haiku.
Haikus about the sea and the jacaranda tree were my favorites, loved the very apt pictures too... Voting the hub up ... and awesome :) Have a lovely day and compliments of the Season!! God Bless!!
Thanks Sofs, I really like your work too, especially your perception of one's thinking. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Missed your haikus. :D
Hi Chris, great to see you again. I haven't heard from you for a while. I always appreciate your comments.
Very inspiring. I'll go on and check out your Haiku guidelines hub.
Hi Coral, Thank you, I really like your work too! Particularly your 'Gift of Light'
Symbols of solace
comfort from sorrow's sharp edge
returning to hope
Lovely! Thanks for your comments. Russ
Hi Russ,
I always trust my instincts and I agree with them that this is a great haiku.
Happy New Year!
Hi Sue, and thank you, I really like your haikus too. Wishing you a great year!
Oh my what wonderful Haiku's.
Diana Krall is amazing :)
Thanks Susan, yes Diana is one of my favourites. I saw her in London about a year ago, had front row deck-chairs in Hamstead HEath on a Summer's Day. Paradise!
