This 5-7-5, Midnight Watch, has the proper formatting and creates a movement scene of big waves rushing to shore with the ferocity of wild horses. ....

Comment from Aiona
Oooo..... very visual. It is a word picture. It meets the 5-7-5 criteria. The picture is well-chosen. But even without the picture, I can see the night ocean.

Ciao poet, you now have 2 votes.
There are several fine entries but I loved that idea of waves being horses with silver manes( the spume/seafoam) surging forward.
Cool also how you describe the moon as a ripened peach .
The artwork showcases well your lovely poem.

Love your haiku, each line is so imaginative I have also entered this contest Like to see yours win the contest. I really enjoy writing haiku, the trouble is one will come to mind in the middle of the night but when I wake up it has gone. All the best

Comment from Pamusart
Hi
This is beautiful. And it is a true haiku. It has a great Satori lion Do you know what that means?
It means that the last line is kind of a surprise, thinking of waves prancing is a novel concept
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from royowen
I've never heard of the moon being described like a ripened beach before, how ingenious, and original. A fascinating theory, or rather, metaphor, to spur the imagination, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
