“Sea Mist Dreams,” #Haibun #Senryu

Posted on by Colleen M. Chesebro

The Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction challenge for January 31, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about sea mist. How does it create an environment for a story? It can set the stage or take the stage. Go where the prompt leads.

Respond by February 5, 2019.

I walk along the sandy path strewn with starfish and seashells which seems to beckon me toward the sea. Pearls and aquamarine crystals dot the trail. The salt water scent of the sea mist wafts over me as the sound of stormy waves crashing against stony cliffs draws me closer to my goal.

I imagine the mer-people, undines, water nymphs, and sirens who assist with the flow of life, balancing emotions with healing, cleansing, love, and beauty. I can’t help but wonder how I got here.

Childish dreams bring hope—
 as past and present conspire
 to present new paths.

      2. Wonderful Colleen! Hope you had a nice weekend? Wish you a great new week too. Perhaps sometimes we could make a “brain exchange”, than i could become a such fantastic metricist too. Best wishes, Michael
