My Sanctuary - #beach #saltlife #WDYS #haiga #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #writer #writingcommunity @YvetteMCalleiro


Hello, beautiful readers! I'm combining poetry prompts again today. Sometimes, they just go so beautifully together that I just have to join them. Plus, there are only so many moments in my busy days to write poetry. 

Today, I am combining Robbie Cheadle's Spin the Bottle prompt with Sadje's What Do You See? prompt. Robbie provided us with the challenge of writing a haiga. A haiga is a combination of a painting or drawing (in this case, a photo) combined with a haiku on the artwork.

Sadje provided the photo below and asked us to write a piece inspired by the photo. Immediately, a haiku came to mind, so I blended the two prompts together.

  5. I agree - watching water is very calming. I'm not close enough to go to a beach every day or weekend. But I always like to be reminded of the many beaches I have visited - on both coasts, Maui, Aurba, and the southern Islands where I've collected shells and coral. :)

  6. Ocean experiences are different for each one of us and the time of the visit also adds to the difference. I've also seen calm waves but I like the gushing ones, as they are so exhilarating!
