Joy, unadulterated


Picture Courtesy

Dolphins prance
They invite us all
Come, let's dance!

Say, 'Ahoy'!
In the ocean blue
Share my joy!

Ok, that was my first post in Haiku. So if I have made any mistakes, feel free to correct me!

Ah, if only I could go there and join their joy :)

Lovely haiku, welcome to Haiku Heights and glad that you shared your first one with us. It is a very nice 3-5-3 set.

I think it's best that you don't compare with others to know how good you are! I mean, compared to the inspiring poets like Shakespeare and Wordsworth and Yeats etc. we're still ants in the poetry world, only growing as we learn and write more.

Cheers & hope to see you again with HH.

When I saw the prompt word was joy, dolphins were the first thing that came to mind. It's my favourite animal, always cheers me up!
