Haiku Set III

by David Ritchie

northwesterly winds
on shallow hidden cove
anchor holds
kingfisher falls
upon lingering minnow
only ripples remain
heron on tideflats
stares at stranded minnows
slowly steps forward
still green water
faded wooded boat
no sounds
island cliff
tangled madrone trees
campfire smoke
frayed bow lines
softly creaking dock
hands mending nets
incoming tide
gently places on shore
driftwood
