Both lovely Haiku whatever way you place the words. I got a lovely surprise when I heard the ocean and the gulls, very relaxing. Cheers Gaye

Hi Gypsy, I like this creativity. The time of the day when the earth is tilting such that the rays get bent to get these exquisite coloring in the sky. The deep dark horizon bars the separation of sky, land, and water. Very warm, beautiful brief moment enough to capture in a painting as you have here as an artful piece.

This is so lovely. I especially like that you can read it forward and backward. The sound of waves crashing onto the shore adds to the beautiful poem and illustration too.

ahhh - very nice. It really reads well both ways. I really like "reflections" Sky scenes are always more beautiful when you can see their reflection in the lake at the same time

    Hello, my friend, :) Thank you for reading me. Yes, I love reflections on the water. There is something about big bodies of water that I find very appealing. I love the ocean and big lakes the best but creeks and rivers are cool too.

Rarely have I seen the optics of a poem used to such great effect. It's lovely to look at - and the words mirror the visual experience perfectly. Like your last one ("affinity") this one creates mood in the reader. Fantastic.

Hello, Gypsy;
-I like how you reverse the satori to be in the first line of the first haiku and in the third line of the second haiku. I think I got it right?
-Anyway I do like the presentation and the descriptive lines of very dramatically connected and dramatically expressed a definitive situation.
-The satori software that moment well for me a spontaneity of excitement and is relative to the conceptual and contextual themes.
-I think the pictures really well chosen and definitely gives you that magenta setting.
-I do thank you for sharing and take care and have a good one.

Alex

Haikuist-Sensei,
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! (Three Stooges?). Haikuist-Sensei shows Grasshopper a mirror haiku one not seen prior. This new concept is hippity-hop haiku. I luff it. The mirror form. Yours is wunnerful. Thank you, teach. I am forever in your school.

    LoL, the three stooges were annoying hahaha. I like '''hippity-hop haiku" sounds like the beginning of a haiku.

A haiku about my what I have been wishing for today. Spring!
This is very beautiful. "magenta clouds" such a beautiful colour, one of my favourites. Even better at "two for one special" awesome satori.
This would be a beautiful print for a wall hanging.
