HI Gypsy, Great pictures of the sun over the waves and shining over the water. This haiku is haunting, it reminds me of two lovers coming together, with the "world between" them. Dove

I like the idea of the sky and sea kissing on the horizon. Of course, it could be a metaphor for a couple who live worlds apart and never really get together. There's a constellation with a similar story. Loved the entire presentation.

It feels like the sea and sky are are metaphor for lovers who are a "world apart". They can never be together long but they can hope to meet briefly at the horizon and accept that's the way it has to be.

This was truly a wonderful haiku, Gypsy. I loved the title of the "Sea and Sky". The picture was wonderful in that the 'sea and sky', it separated the two of them. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Hi MariVal,
what a magic thought this Haiku allows my mind to take... a kiss between worlds. Mmmmmm(((((((()))))))).

It's so romantic in nature... and the images couple so wonderfully with the words. I can almost taste the salty taste upon my lips.

So beautiful! Loved it!

With our thoughts we create...
the line between reality.

Warmest regards,
James.

Ps. Hope you are having a loving Christmas day with your family my dear sweet friend.

    Yes, I'm tucked in bed now. We had a wonderful Christmas. It was so much fun to watch Atticus open presents. Micaela's husband is the best cook I know. He made a delicious dinner and desert. I wrote a little but I mostly hang out with my daughter watching B movies.

    I don't know if I told you, micaela is my youngest daughter, the one I live with, along with her husband and son. She is a wonderful daughter.

    How was your Christmas with Jade? I hope it was fantastic.

    Con cariño

    Oh yes, watching your grandson Articus opening presents paints a magic picture... how wonderful!
    Micaela's on a winner there, a husband that cooks... and what he's good at it! I'm so truly glad you have this close relationship with this part of your family... it sounds beautiful. I guess it all depended on what these 'B's' were, Hmmmmm?
    Only one thing left... always believe and never sell yourself short!

    Eres la 'Reina Lobo Gitana' brillando en un increíble tono azul oscuro!

    We have a quiet Christmas and have Jade's older sister over for lunch... been doing that for ten years or so... I guess when you don't have children around, the magic dies that little bit?
    But quiet is good... we made some plates of food for a few of the older-stay-at-home folk we know and delivered them to their door. I'd love to do that on a larger scale one day to include all those around me who may be living on their own, or who are by themselves on Christmas... yes, that would be something that would make me real happy!

I liked the double meaning I got in this poem. First it was physical difference. He is far away maybe a different country. Then it was the thought of spiritual realm. He or she has passed n yet the connection was still there. Beautifully written. Gretchen

Gypsy,

Fantastic illustrations that you paired with your poem.

Suggested edits you might consider:

kiss on? kiss at?

world lives between them
