Peter Puget Haiku

In my recent cruise with Too Tall Tom, he began instructing me in the art of writing Japanese Haiku Poetry with particular references to cruising. From modern day cruising we slipped easily into the Exploration of Peter Puget and the Southern Waters and the Voyage of Discovery. Too Tall Tom was crew for me when we replicated Puget's Route.

The first line is 5 syllables.
The second line is 7.
The third line is 5.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Four years to explore
Voyage of Discovery
Peter Puget's Sound
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Row, Row, Row your boat.
Hungry, Thirsty, Hot and Cold
The Men of the Oar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Master Whidbey sees
Deception Pass is the Key
To Whidbey's Island.
