A Link in a Haikuplet Chain

Tides can come and go

For they belong to the moon

But what’s your excuse?

             

My suspense breaks slow

Waves in a painting of storms.

This time, they will crash.

                  

                   

                 

A/N: I like the idea of a painting breaking slowly, as opposed to, well, never. What does that mean, anyway? It would have to happen all in the viewer's head. I suppose painted waves crashing would too... Aren't haikus cool?

This my link to DK Shepard's original haikpulet, "Followed Footsteps." As per the rules, I wrote a different second haiku than the original and kept the first one. If anyone wants to add another link, I'd be excited to read it!

Go check out Kenny Penn's ongoing challenge! There are still a few days left to add a chain or write your own haikuplet.
