sea shell drawing

Even though #1 sea shell drawing is an excellent poem and completely without a flaw, I could not pick it for a winner because it is too close to Bill's famous poem, "summer grass / sea shell drawing / of warriors" which was possibly read by the author. There is a strong suspicion that having once seen wind rippling long grass on hill so that it looked as such a scene must have to Bill, that ghostly warriors were storming the rise. One of the ways of learning how haiku works is to take the Old Masters' works into a new situation, as was done here.

sea shell drawing is exercise

However, the question is, does one enter such an exercise in a sea shell drawing contest? It is an excellent Steve and if Bill had not beat the author by his arrival on earth 300 years earlier, it would be a winner. So, I pick "sea shell drawing artist's diet" as winner of this round. Though #3 is hardly profound, it does contain a comparison of the dimples rain would make in an outdoor (which is not clear, and here is only assumed) with those which one could see on the fat lady's skin. And, there is a good chance that no one in haiku history has made that comparison! The poem is built on the very simple technique of using a phrase that encompasses both parts of the comparison.

It is almost like a riddle: where are the dimples in the sea shell drawing? The word "dimples" could lead one to think "fat person". The bit of nature "the rain" comes along as a bit of a surprise. It causes the reader to think: how do drops hitting water look? and how does a dimple look? and are they really that similar as its own sea shell drawing.
