Gorgeous picture and presentation to compliment this lovely haiku. I loved each line and the satori is perfection. A joy to read.

Blessings

Nice! I enjoyed this one. I actually had to go look the precise definition of affinity, to reaffirm what you were portraying. Of course I could have just looked down out the author notes. Well done from one Buddha to another.

Take care,
Russell

Visual and the sound puts you right in the mist. Its amazing the endless thoughts theses sounds bring. This one is a winner to my senses. Well written and heartfelt thought went into this simple creation.

Hello Gypsy, Your poem is beautifully, deliciously, eerie.

Great satori connecting lines:

seagull cries at dawn
as I sip salty tears--

(Vivid imagery. I can see it; I can hear it.)

Lovely artwork choice. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBoomer

Oh, how beautiful is this!? I am out of sixes, but how I love the salty tears, and the seagulls crying at dawn...affinity. How clever. I have a CD of ocean sounds, I love it. This is a gem, blessings...

I understand how the seagulls and ocean waves ambiance sound inspired this lovely haiku. Beautiful poem for your friends anniversary. Very nice artistic presentation too.

Gypsy,

I have to say I do not like this poem - not on the merits of the poem - it's actually lovely. But I do not like to think of you crying, my friend. Whether it's metaphorically or in real life. Take away the tears! *smile* Sorry. No tears, please. I like my gypsy laughing.

Hi Gypsy A great Haiku that has captured the moment beautifully. Excellent Satori that combines lines one and two to express your affinity to the seagull cries and you crying salty tears. Did the seagull cries provoke a sadness in you ? Cheers Christine

    Sometimes you hear a song and it makes you melancholic for a minute... that is all. Everything is good. :)

A very well-written haiku. The early morning sounds are always the best and bring back memories we sometimes hide far from others.
