My 6-word poems with a twist
Sixku 5
Shadow’s depth:
visions upon wood
enchanting.

I have a passion for capturing the play between light and shadows. I always see beautiful stories in it.
Listen to the audio-ku:
Sixku 6
Sundown —
blasting through clouds
but slowly.

I don’t know about you, but I love watching sunsets (more so than sunrises). They make me whole and fulfilled. Nothing else matters but the beautiful courtship between the sun and the earth…
My favorite spot to behold sunsets? The beach!
I took the above photo when I was in Kauai, Hawaii, a few years ago. It’s one of the most beautiful islands in the world!
Sixku 7
Smoothly
hiding in low tide
clouds.

In Kauaii, Hawaii…
Sixku 8
Oceanside
stacked rocks look
almost pensive.

A view of the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail, the last stretch of accessible coastline on the south shore of Kauai (Hawaii) that has not been developed. It features some incredible views, such as sand-dune cliffs, limestone formations and rocky inlets.

Windy day:
anchored to this rock
cycles.
