Ocean Haiku Written at Cannon Beach, Oregon

William Clunie
1.
we watch the sun set
and walk back to the cabin -
others watch it rise.

2.
moonlight dazzles her
sends her running to the sea
never to return

3.
a gold sun tonight
a seagull flies inside it
my sorrows leave me

4.
a dozen seagulls
standing beside the ocean -
they begin to move

5.
covering the shore
where there were none yesterday
thousands of smooth stones
