Island Hopping




My brain hopped around yesterday and today with this prompt.  One might think it would be an easy one for an islander, but I was all over the map!  All the way to the moon and back, so to speak.


****


from that distance
the man in the moon sees
one island


****


islands
hold hands
under the sea


****


low tide......
two islands 
become one


****



one old goose
in a sea of goslings
prospect park

    The last, describes my afternoon yesterday - with my exuberant grandson at the playground near his home.


Today the prompt is "island" at HAIKU HEIGHTS

  2. The last one speaks to me, since I love exuberant boy! However the third is my favorite. Makes me think that if people just sit and be with each other now and again, the tide will go out and they will touch.

  3. I do like the low tide one. Simple and elegantly descriptive.

  10. Lovely set. The second and third are my faves. I also thought of island-hopping for the prompt when I woke up today.
