This post is inspired by the Haiku Heights word prompt for this weekend which is “Shimmer”.
Clevedon in Somerset
Mellow moonlight drops
Diamonds on shimmering sea
Neap tide trickles out
Frosty day in the garden
From frosty shed roof
Hang diamanté drainpipes,
Glittering gutters
Lucky Strike
Lake shimmers ~ Ripples!
Mirror carp lured by the bait,
Fast strike ~ fish landed!
A good catch
Setting sun shimmers
On ancient Black Sea coast as
Night train leaves Sochi
Black Sea coast at sunset seen from train leaving Sochi
Heavenhappens 
These were all wonderful, but the first one was breathtaking.

I love each Haiku for its unique image. I spent some time with each and traveled and deepened. I especially loved the alliterated D’s–drops diamonds and diamante drainpipes,

Thank you Susan, lovely comment ~ I do love alliteration ~ in haiku when syllables are so few i think alliteration packs a punch to the lines. Thanks for reading and enjoy some of my other posts x

Oh you should, it is a magical experience travelling across Russia, Africa or anywhere really, especially at night. I’ve done long train journeys across Russia, Africa, Norway ans Switzerland in the past and loved every minute. Wish I could do more but a bit constrained now by family situation sadly. Still I have my memories x

Thank you x I was rather pleased with that. I wrote a poem once about the autumn leaves being my gold and the frost my silver and the raindrops my diamonds. But sometimes the sea sparkles like diamonds.

Yes it is one of my hobby horses! Tides fascinate me so i buy the book of tides which is produced each year with details about the tides in different places. Bit of a tide anorak!

So many wonderful images! I would love to see the shimmer on the Dead Sea some day. (thanks for the new (old) word ‘neap’ Had to look that one up!

Ah so glad you enjoyed the post and learned a new word! I am fascinated by tides to the point of buying the table of tides each year so I know when it is high tide and when low tide. I don’t even live by the sea!
