The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.

Beautiful! Perfect title for the mood captured in your haiku poems… the sea has a similar effect on me!😍
I feel so peaceful now 😁
THis is so lovely and calm, but not in a still, dead way, in a accepting, connecting way.
I love that you chose this Haiku style - I never even considered this! Really well done Cathy 🙏🌟♥️
Lovely work! I love your incorporation of nature into your work.
Love that you created a haiku story for this challenge! All the ocean and sky imagery using the words lended very well to the form!
Love where you took this challenge. Always enjoy reading your writing!
I can feel the ocean breeze, see the stars and feel the wonder of creation. Lovely.
Whoaaaa, you used so many words!! I used only 10 from two of Poppy's Prompts about a few weeks ago and I'm still exhausted, lol. You're so freaking amazing! Queen for a reason! Loved your beautiful set of Haikus!
Wonderful Haikus Cathy! ☺️👍
A lovely work by you!
Perfect. Could feel a sense of calmness wash over me. Great stuff.
Holy cow did you use a lot of words!! That was quite beautiful, my friend :)
Wonderful and loving it!!!❤️❤️💕
How I wish my home felt calm right now. I love this Cathy, it reminds me to put the love back into my home.
Cathy, I live on the Gulf of Mexico and you captured the feeling perfectly!! Good luck in the challenge!
What breathtaking imagery and sensory elements in this haiku Cathy!! I especially enjoyed the stanza "Water carving peace Slicing salty expanses Leaving quietude"... I felt like I could taste the salt on my tongue and hear the silence ringing after the rise of the waves crashing ended. Great work!!
What a lovely piece, Cathy! It soothes my soul.
