Nature Foursome

~a sea gull’s swift flight over waves, shadow as kite last catch before night ~choppy waves reflect birds of sea by light inspect dead fishes’ bisect ~shad fish seek cover fish schools shield each the other surrogate mother ~ocean waves relent light of day energy spent sea smells of salt scent For and in honor of Carol Brown And contest: What’s The Buzz

I must have missed this while I was out of town, John. How cool that we both chose to write about the sea. Your imagery is so vividly. I love all the verses, especially the one about the fish schools shielding each other as "surrogate mothers." Congratulations on your win, my friend! Love, Carolyn

A wonderful series of Haiku John. I love the ocean and anything written about it. I have never tried to rhyme Haiku so will have to give it a try sometimes. God Bless Phyl

Just beautiful John, I am really liking the rhyming haiku, actually, I find them a bit more difficult to write, best of luck~~
