Violet's Day at the Beach
Summertime Haiku Inspired by the Purple-shaded Storms Along the Atlantic Coast
When I consider the color purple, a day at the beach comes to mind. The images are vivid: purple-blue shades of ocean tides, crashing waves on the Atlantic Coast shoreline, shimmering sand that changes color with the position of the sun, empurpled clouds piled high in the sky, and storms rolling in as waist-high Irises shiver in the wind back at the beach house.
What better way to celebrate Associated Content's acquisition by Yahoo! than with a picture-perfect, purple-colored Haiku? Here's a Haiku about a young girl's day at the shore.
Violet's Day at the Beach
Hazy, purple rays
Dark clouds warn of storms ahead
Thunder rumbles by.
