harbor (haiku and senryu)

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Mr. Walker

natural harbor-
the bay, an estuary
where the boats can sigh

I didn’t want to
harbor such thoughts in my heart-
shouldn’t watch those films

A haiku and senryu for the harbor prompt at Haiku Heights.

I love how you used ‘harbor’ in two different ways!

I believe those boats are sighing for the open water…

Ah, yes…the boats can sigh….they can rest, protected, before returning to the sea.

Lovely haiku, both.
