Water mimics sky,
withholds resplendence of blue,
dons a grey raincoat.

Delightful read. I grew up by the ocean and overcast or not, just envisioning the environment takes me home. Love the brevity of haiku in this piece. – B

This one is particularly lovely. I used to live near the ocean when I lived in North Carolina and it reminds me of that time.

I love this gray shade of blue. Your poem captures the melancholy feel.
