This has some great summer visuals. They are so powerful that I just feel the shifting sand, hear the waves and can picture the couple on the beach.

You did a great job with the three lines given.

I enjoyed reading this, and you have a delightful presentation.

I don't know if you'll win your contest. Sort of more like a Senryu. Hey though, you won a smile from me. Age myself, but I remember the dark movie, From Here to Eternity. For the time the scene on the beach was thought risque.

Good luck. Bill

    You' are right, Bill, this is more a senryu. Given that the Haiku Club published an anthology of our nature haiku, we are now turning our attention to human haiku. It is not a contest but it is in a sense. The first anthology published five of my haiku. I want to increase my accepted haiku in the sequel. Thank you for wishing me the best.

The fact that you have Sinatra singing "I've got you under my skin" after I have read that the sand is "where the sun don't shine" is hilarious. This is a great poem and we need humor.

This was very humorous indeed and yes sand gets in places we don't want it to get.

Great summer love haiku:)

Hahaha. That's funny. I wrote a nonet a long time ago about this same thing. How a passionate rendezvous on the beach ended with butt-crack sand, lol. Thank you for the chuckle. Great write.

Lol. That's the problem with just swimming in the ocean whether in love or not. I like the delicate way you express it as where "the sun don't shine" and the repeated "ch" sounds that show us the effect on the skin.

Sis Cat, This was a very humorous poem. I love the artwork. Flows well and I would recommend this. This was a great poem in so few words. Thanks, Theresa.
