Inspired by the seascape at St Ives – so tranquil and calm yet remembering the sea has such great potential to stir itself – this series of sea-based haiku emerged into my consciousness this early morning.

• A wild wave surges ~
• Strong undertow scrapes and growls ~
• Sucking sediment.

• A fresh tide surges ~
• Across political sands ~
• Flushing out fossils.

• A fresh tide surges ~
• Through humanity’s landscape ~
• Shipwrecked treasure found.

• Tsunami of hope ~
• Gaining power from the deep ~
• Hidden volcanoes.
