That's an interesting take on things. This poem is well written. The green color for the matting is disconcerting. A beige to represent the sand would be much better. My opinion only.

Sanku

Thank you for participating in the haiku club event. Great entry. Check your syllable count, you have 8 syllables on the second line. Good connection between lines. Beautiful presentation and imagery.

Good job,

its depth de/cep/tive = 5
o/cean churns up dead/wood ma/tters = 8 syllables
like a rest/less mind= 5

    Do you know anything about a poem called "sanku" somebody recommended it but she didn't know anything about it. I searched on line and couldn't find it.

    i tried google and was unable to find anything. But I found that in Japanese 'sanku' means a kind pattern for candle sticks!

I enjoyed your beautiful Haiku that compares the churning ocean to a restless mind that also churns up bothersome matters that really don't matter.Good lucking the contest.

Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. I enjoyed reading. The ocean has always been a mystery to me. I liked the metaphor of a restless mind. I am pretty sure they're very similar.

A bit abstract, it makes the reader think, I like that. I read it many times. My perception of your poem is we all have oceans within us, it is up to us to expose our inner truth, no matter how insignificant we think our thoughts are. As long as they are good thoughts that would better our world.

I like that this made me think of the ocean tossing rocks and shells around. Covering and uncovering things with sand and seaweeds. Life covers and uncovers things periodically. Our minds move memories around like that. Gretchen

I keep counting one syllable too many on that second line, but I could be wrong. Your poem was lovely, though. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Hello :)
I enjoyed reading your haiku.
I love the simile of the churning ocean and a restless mind - makes perfect sense to me. Nice use of alliteration in line one.
Best wishes, Debra
