"This is Paradise" -Haiku 1

Sea tides undulate

 

Salt saturates wide valleys

 

Fish leap helplessly

 

Seagulls laugh at moment’s spare

 

Desert sand surrounds

 

Lonely land mass residing

 

Brim with tourism

 

Festivals ignite the flame

 

Native culture dance

 

Parties prosper all around

 

Sun enlightens all

 

Skin tans from ash to brown dust

 

Reggae music blasts

 

Life turns to relaxation

 

This is paradise

Notes

At first, Haiku writing was tedious (a.k.a. 5-7-5 syllable rule), but it turned out to be great! Haiku is a little different but still in the same species as free verse.:)
