Hey, Alice...

love what you're doing, and some of your 'revisions' are really fine... but there is always something intriguing about the original IMPRESSION that creates the senryu/haiku...

so I'd really like to see you return to the harbour waters impression somehow.

"Traditional" haiku (as you know, Alice) has nothing to do with 5-7-5, the rubric that most of us learned in our introduction to haiku, so I also like your resistance to being placed in that box. For me, the only workable rubric seems to be short/long/short, in general, keeping in mind two images juxtaposed upon each other from the same impression.

daughter's face
in the harbour waters...
my own smile
