Poetic Musings: Sandpiper Haiku by petro c.k.

.......................... sandpiper

petro c.k.

Commentary: Enhanced by the visually effective use of punctuation marks, "..........................," this one-word visual haiku leads the reader to a shorebird, sandpiper. On a second read-through, I think the punctuation marks function like/works well as  the footprints left by this sandpiper, which reminds me of the following traditional, three-line sandpiper haiku:

wet beach sand --
a sandpiper's song
of footprints
