When one is in the centre of a tranquil moment, Elaine and I have enjoyed many times like this in our travelling days. This is beautifully written dear friend, a blissful look at life in the slow lane. Well done, blessings Roy

What I know about haiku can be fit into a thimble, and if questions arrive I should go to the source, Gypsy Rose, I suppose, to ask if this one of yours meets her criteria but instead let's see... 17 syllables of 5-7-5. Yep, that's correct, and now my thimble is empty again.

This 5-7-5, Ocean Breeze Beckons, has the proper formatting and serves up a relaxing surf which draws away the stress of life and brings in a tide of rest.

Hi kahpot. I think you told me your name but I'm not sure. What a delightful vision you've created. One of lease and tranquility as you said. That last line was unexpected but fits perfectly. Ripples are problems and headaches.
Well deserving of 6 stars.

Good luck in the contest. Thank you for sharing

That is a very lovely Haiku. It is easy to understand how so many love to live where they can have an ocean breeze and bautiful sunrises or sunsets over water. The ocean does havea calming influence. Beautifully worded, and a stunning image.

I like the "dreams without ripples." Even though the ocean is full of waves, the breeze can be tranquil and the warm, tropical climate can induce a slower, less stressful lifestyle.

A beautiful Haiku that gives the reader a sense of peace and contentment. A dream that hopefully comes true with nothing to "trouble the waters."
I enjoyed reading this one.
