Experiencing Siesta Key-Japanese Style

Powdery white sand

shimmers its quartz in sunlight

stars twinkle on ground

 

Singing cardinal

joins the drumming woodpecker

branches take a bow

 

Fluttering pupa

amidst the dense, tall sand dunes

dotted flowers bloom

 

Sliding waves ashore

bring seaweeds, grasses, and more

crabs party with bugs

 

Diving pelican

grabs grub by its throat and stores

tiny fish floats by

 

Pushy winds force gulf

life sprouts off abandoned shells

birds gather and feed

 

Frolicking dolphins

blow bubbles following wakes

joyous children dance

 

Laughing gulls-Seagulls

flock flies as girl chases them

air fills with more laughs

 

Speeding dragon boat

zips past kayaks and swimmers

no riders aboard

 

Lifting her foot, girl

awakes colony of flies

many holes in stone

 

Digging under sand

mounts sand on top of wet sand

house becomes castle

 

Greenery on rock

slides and shifts with force of tide

algae underfoot

 

Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet-tweet

sounds rising from inside wrack

tweet, chirp, tweet-chirp-tweet

 

About to bear fruit

bespeckled with white flowers

lemon smell rises

 

Rotating bike wheels

leave tire marks on the sand

streaks change creation

 

Walking the soft sand

imprints under shoes lift ground

ants crawl on mountain

 

Rustling leaves sway right

where they started from and fro

whispers spread their wings

 

Gliding above gulf

watches prey from a distance

wet nose-wet body

 

Perching on lamp post

songbird sings with all her parts

thin wire vibrates

 

Moon rising on east

red sun setting on the west

eyes play ping-pong-ping

 

White powder turns dark

birds A-line flies west, to nest

umbrellas fold in

    The title intrigued me and brought me to your poems. These are wonderful haiku poems.
