Comment from June Sargent
I never looked at it that way before. But it's true, when that tsunami hits, we have no choice but to submit. And the results can be a bit painful. But Nature will have her way. Great artwork - very reminiscent of the Japanese masters Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What a brilliantly worded haiku, Bill! Very imaginative, and so true. The world seems to be plagued by these and other tragic occurrences nowadays. Well done with this contest entry, and good luck! :) Sandra xx

What a clever choice of words to describe the subject. If I didn't know what this was, I would want to look it up. Well penned

Comment from Anntonette
Beautifully well written and well said! It would be more fun to read if it had alliteration running through it :) Just a thought.
I love the word "slap" like the tsunami has a mind of its own.

Comment from Gloria ....
Oh man that's some slap. That said this is a terrific haiku in more ways than one. It follows the "guidelines" perfectly and is a stellar entry into the contest.
Wishing you much luck with the Contest Committee.

You have a striking image here, Bill, for the eternal battle between land and sea - and what a mighty slap the tsunami is - a fearful reminder of the power of nature.

Comment from Raul1
This is why tsunamis are dangerous and your poem proves that point. It kills living things and destroys everything in its path. Nature sometimes it is its own doing. Thanks for sharing! Good luck in the contest!
