These are three haikus which observe a syllable count of 5 – 7 – 5 in their lines. They follow a tradition of using clear language to describe nature, then bridging to a related image.

Pearl Morning of Mist
Pearl morning of mist
Clipper ships in the harbor:
Undressing lover.
The Harbor Air
Rough, coarse, salty air,
A fragrance smelled from far-off.
Hot stew in kitchens.
Under the Sea
Undersea lie ships,
Sunken and decomposing:
A bottle’s settlings.
