I enjoyed reading your excellent haiku with the great predawn atmosphere you paint, (seagull's cry and tear: sound and taste) and the spectacular artwork. Good satori line. Thank you for sharing with us.

Comment from Marykelly
The imagery of a seagull shattering the silence at dawn is vivid and the word cry harmonizes with the speaker's tearful mood. The seagull's call can also be interpreted as a wake up call for whatever is causing the speaker distress.

Hello Gypsy
This is a fine haiku
with excellent imagery in the seagull/tears
and excellent use of the sense of sound and taste
The em dash works well providing the separation
and the single word satori is very effective
A fine photograph and presentation enhances
Well done

Comment from Pantygynt
This is as fine an example of a first class satori line as one could expect to see. That single, three syllable word, "affinity", says it all. But then we should expect perfection from the haiky queen herself.

Thank you for sharing your inspiration for this haiku in your notes. I admired your artwork selection that helped to establish the mood and your use of alliteration that intensified it. I hope you sleep better tonight! Smiles- Joan

Comment from Sis Cat
This haiku, Gypsy, relaxes me like a walk along the beach. Your words, image, and sound effects capture the predawn mood at the sea. I love how you found an affinity between a salty ocean and salty tears.
Thank you for sharing your haiku for Mary and Douglas' 19th wedding anniversary.

Comment from lyenochka
Lovely setting of empathy. A single bird call in morning can evoke such feelings. The next line show the expression of sadness in the tears and the final line shows a connection carrying the emotions of a kindred spirit.
