    Meena,

    A poem about my lady!

    In the first verse it should be either discoveries await or discovery awaits

    I love how you made the water surface into a blanket, indeed one could perceive it as such and it covers so many treasures and beautiful reefs and sea life!

    Slumber in darkness is a good way to put it, it is always so exiting when a wreck is discovered and all the treasured are brought to the surface:)

    A woman in blue is also a very poetic way of describing her. I also see her as a "she", because she is the womb of all life-forms to me.

    the way she dances is spell binding indeed..I have seen all sides of her and also know of her destructive force, because she took many of my people in the big flood of 1953, that hit Zeeland hardest ( the home of my ancestors)

    Overal I loved this Meena, although I think it could be written with less fillers..but is is kept small, like a Haiku should be, so kudos for you, my dear:)

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid

    A beautiful description of the ocean ! Loved the images...

    "She is majestic
    a lovely woman in blue
    with erratic moods"

    I have always loved the ocean and now even more after reading your poem. You captured the essence of the ocean with your words. Well done.

    The first three haiku are really pleasing though I feel the last one could have been better. English haiku doesn't need to be 5-7-5. It just needs to be be within 17 syllables, not necessarily 17. So that saves you from using a few filler words here and there! :)

    Meena, what a wonderful stanza that is in a wonderful string haiku. I enjoyed this thoroughly. Well done on this clever write.
    All the very best
