low tide
we leave our footprints
to the wetness

Love it! (I bet the organizers of this kigo didn't expect the word wetness used in this way ;-))

How wonderful, here you've been all over my favourite blogs and I never visited how uncouth of me...I don't really go by any rules of methods of writing but to me 'we leave our footprints to the wetness' touches me deeply it's wonderful ...
