I'll just repeat what others have said - "wave-mallets" is such a great image. I like how the first two lines suggest attack with "terror" and "unguarded", but then art in the third with "sculpt". The power and beauty of nature.
Thanks for participating in last week's Limerick-Off. Your entry came in right after I named the winners. :) But I've already posted a new Limerick-Off challenge and hope you'll be a regular participant.
Lovely picture (begging to be made into a quilt), and a superb haiku.
ReplyDeleteJinksy, love the haiku and that picture is interesting. Are you receiving a lot of rain?

This is an astonishing piece... the picture and poem as a unit. I love the idea of waves as mallets - so original.

Image and poem marry well, both striking and complimenting one another.
