Excellent water is inspiring and cleansing of both the outer and inner body, it washes away the dirt while cleansing the organs, this is a very clever short poem, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Comment from Beck Fenton
The allure for the ocean and its tides is strong in many of us that have the spirit and soul to feel the push and pull of something mightier than ourselves. Perfect art to showcase your haiku.

For men and women, I believe that water and fire have always been enticing entities that have reached out to us for thousands of years. It would be hard to choose between the two as far as what is most desired and most needed. Good poem and a good message. Best wishes.

Hello RJ,
This is a very fine 5-6-5 haiku poem and entry for the contest
with excellent imagery and connection in lines one and two
The third line (satori) is an excellent reflective thought.
Good quiet use of alliteration and perfect picture to match.
You might consider dropping the "a" as it weakens the thought
But either way, well done
Good luck in the contest
RS

Comment from Ulla
Hi there, I liked this wee poem a lot. It has great imagery and it's an observation of nature.
Two lines have to be gramatically interconnected and the satori line is the 'Aha' moment: Oh, So this is what's it's all about. Also the title would be: haiku(currents flow freely)..
Good luck. All the best. Ulla:)))

Comment from mermaids
Your poem says it all for me, it is why I swim in the ocean and prefer to live near the ocean. "Calms an inner soul" is a perfect last line, that is what the ocean does. Excellent use of words.

Hello RJ, Nice haiku - good 5-7-5 syllable count. Good alliteration in "flows freely." R, if a photo was not associated with your writing, this poem could also be viewed as spiritual, and I like when a poem has different "faces." Well done. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Comment from bard owl
I think the strength of the sea has always comforted mortals - like the strength of a parent comforts children. Though short, your poem relates an abiding truth. It should do well in the Haiku contest. Best of luck to you. Linda
