It is Tuesday and time to write a 'Slice of Life."
Thank you Two Writing Teachers for creating this supportive community
of teacher-writers!
We are on vacation at the beach in South Carolina and it is absolutely beautiful here. I offer you a taste of this magical setting through photos and haiku (writing format inspiration from Barb Edler’s post yesterday – thank you, Barb!).
gift of this day waking to wisps of seagrass sheltering our earth
dear sweet gull soaring along the lapping ocean under striated sky
spring glides on a bike with a wild giddy whoosh across shifting sands
pelicans in flight holding the ocean together
water draws the sun into its bounteous arms kissing the day farewell

Maureen, I am so jealous. I did get to visit South Carolina once, but not for long. I desperately want to go back. Your photos and haikus are truly a celebration of the beauty SC offers. Enjoy your vacation and thanks for the “nod”.
It is beautiful here, Barb. Thanks for commenting!
Maureen, I’m so glad you are sharing the photos of the beach! And I’m glad you all are having a great time. The pelicans holding the ocean together – gorgeous words, and gorgeous photo!
Your images and your haikus are both beautiful. Enjoy your vacatio.
Maureen,
Your photos and haiku are gorgeous. The haiku magnify the photos. The photos magnify the the haiku I want to be at the beach, too. Instead, I’m crunching through icy snow. Enjoy your vacation.
The beach is often my inspiration–I’m just in love with the Haiku “pelicans in flight holding the ocean together”. It so captures the way pelicans surf the waves, seemingly just skimming the top of the water. Love the photos!
Maureen, you are being inspired out in this beautiful nature. Wow, those haiku are gorgeous. The grass “sheltering our earth”, the pelicans “holding the ocean / together” and that last haiku, every last word of it, so perfect. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing with us.
