Haiku #2 Betamax

A photo memory of walking on Dungeness beach a few years back inspires todays Haiku. Decay everywhere, boats, sheds, tracks and nets, nothing lasts, a whole industry destroyed by political and corporate greed.

The smell of the sea,
Torn nets hanging on rotten wood,
Like a Betamax.”

    • Thanks Patrick another big compliment and I’ve learnt something from you again. I naturally know of Buddha’s three marks of existence but not the cross over with Japanese aesthetics which I had to look up. Must learn more.
