over the bridge--
a spring tide

    I am having a blast reading your haiku. You need to keep a steady supply coming here so I will always have something to read!

    These nature strikes back situations often deliver nice hands to poets and writers. Well visualized with no more words than needed.

    I'm not very good at haiku,
    but I love to read it.
    I liked this one very much -
    the bridge is there to cross
    not to carry...
    this has a serene quality about it!

    Thank you Bill
    At this time of year, when the tides are much higher, the tidal rivers already boosted with the seasonal rain swell to near breaking point,Around here there are several small, low bridges. With the water which usually runs beneath them now flowing over the road.

    Hope this helps.
    Andrew

    Confused

    Hi Andrew:
    Interesting Haiku. I am tired tonight, maybe this is why I don't fully grasp this Haiku. I like the words used, but don't understand the significance of the bridge and the Spring Tide. Please esplain. Bill
