"The sea meets the shore
Singing continually
Cerebral repose"
for a haiku, capitalizing letters is frowned upon. the poem itself is very original and the satori is rather clever. this should do well for its uniqueness.
thank you for sharing!
good luck!
blessings!

A really good take in this haiku poetry contest. The theme is an unusual one and the satori is a really good one, a left field gem, I rather like your chances, well done, blessings, Roy

This haiku has a peaceful sense with words like "meets" and "singing continually" and gives a sense of a soft, rolling tide and rhythmic wave sounds evoking a restful feeling. Meets line and syllable count.

    Thanks Bill These are fun. I hope I can get the hang of them. I have bought a few books on them and it seems there is quite discrepancy as to what they should be. Some on them just leave me scratching my head. Thanks for the good wishes

Love it. This evokes memories of a childhood (mine) living beachside. The sound of the waves breaking on the shore was way past awesome. I referred to it as a 'mental enema' best for the contest - DJ

A very good entry in the contest. You should do well.
A friend showed me a poem he wrote. He said it was Haiku. It was eighteen stanzas long.

I told him it wasn't Haiku.

He said, "yes it is. A guy in a bar told me."

I like the mood you created with this 5-7-5 haiku and easily could visualize the scene. Your use of alliteration accentuated the message. Best wishes in the contest- Joan
