folds up old dreams of the sea
in yesterday's news

    1. Ha! That is really funny! One of the things I love about poetry. It can often be read in so many ways!

  3. 'Old dreams of the sea' I love this line; sends me to the pages of sea adventure books.

  9. Bravo, excellent Haiku!
    You bring words alive in five,seven,and five.
