beach haiku

Posted on April 9, 2026 by Editor

(Photo of Manzanita Beach by Christy Kay)

sunday evening beach walk:

sand warm ’neath bare feet’
as i tread the sandy beach/
in easter sun’s glow.

feathery white clouds/
grace the afternoon blue sky/
silver sheen on sea.

and now tonight, a unique experience.
i am beyond grateful that i live in this splendid community on the beautiful north oregon coast.

a murmuration!
dunlins along horizon/
suddenly appear.

unique sighting/
never before graced my eyes/
this woman feels blessed.

then comes such color/
a splendid rosy sunset/
moving to pink the sand.

all ephemeral/
soon fading from ocean view/
moments to treasure.

❤

om peace namaste
