The sea was calling you and you obliged, and now it offers awesome sights.

Its Shore Life
Accidental Poet said:

Oh the magnet pull towards the coastline. The air, gulls, the spray of crashing waves. I grew up on the coast also. \'Tis why I\'m such a lover of lighthouses. Great write N.

Its Shore Life
L. B. Mek said:

it comes with that glint of grey in our hair
and an extra second of delay, in our sighs
a nudge of awareness, announcing
that burgeoning arrival of perspective
graced by wisdoms, wide lensed scope
for nuanced: thought...
(such a vivid read
imbued with that melancholic romance
of life, by the sea)
another great shorty, my friend!

Love your play on words - -- was with you there Nev watching those busy sanderlings - it is indeed a seabird\'s life around shores and great to stroll among the different sorts and am glad you have all that so near dear amigo.............x

Beached Whale Blues

It is such a shame to see those beached whales but there are many who help them get back to their safe environment.

Why do they get beached? Is it intentional or an accident - would be nice to learn.
Loved the haiku - I never learnt to compose.

Beached Whale Blues
dusk arising said:

Such an event for many in parts of this wonderous world means a bounty of good food and wealth. Today in our climes it is a sad occasion beyond our understanding.
High tide to the rescue indeed but all to often the whale remains.
A puzzling poem for me to dance with possibilities.

Beached Whale Blues
Accidental Poet said:

That one species should care and help that of another is the sign of compassion and love of life. Well penned N.

Upon the Tip of His Tongue
L. B. Mek said:

and how we regret
not realising it, at the time
and not insuring, we treasured
each lingered sip
and each lips, breathed-in scent
of all that she is, and will
remain - regretfully, meaningfully
in our lives
till that very last, blink
of our relenting: grip...
(simply: Brilliant my friend
what a poignant shorty)

From a Safe Distance Only
L. B. Mek said:

\'he would admit ..

Indeed it was those subtle
strokes and gentle prompts
That reminded
him so very much of lovers
long since passed\'..
reads like lyrics to a well written country music song
that comes-on between, 4th and 5th drink messy slurps
and has you swimming in yearned-for, memories
till mercifully, by that lost shot of double Sambuca
you bow - out, cold
hoping, memory wipes are invented: by morning...
Just such a great set of lines, my friend
they hit home - arrowed
as if I inked the words myself...
(what greater quality can we expect
from a cherished poem)
thank you!

Much of that rescue activity you relate occurs also in Australia, Nev. Dedication required - kudos.Such a turnaround from the old days.
Whale watching now big business - Humpbacks breaching is a spectacular sight - if a little mysterious.

Strange the beaching of whales Nev.
-- your descriptive haiku reminds us of high tide rescue for some while others are the unfortunate ones. Sad eh - - and I am beginning to blubber now...........x

Frivolous affairs, some long remembered, some forgotten straight away. You dove deep into the essence of both. Well structured, succinct. and pointed. Short, but complex. - Phil A.

dusk arising said:

Many a new taste can reach one\'s tongue tip. Foul tastes are best replaced with something sweet.... a sweet taste should be savoured for as long as it lingers and should an aftertaste arise... look for something to remove it.... something sweet maybe?

Nice wordplay to get the word jugglers juggling.
