Notes About The Poem

Angler Fish

Sea dusk has lure-fish.

                              Desert loss without lantern.

                                   Beam of angler-fish.

A desert without lantern is not good but better than that picture of angler fish.

It’s vastness and darkness, the analogy is dim of light that we as humans need, thanks for commenting and reading, Have a blessed night.

Heya Lassad, I’ve seen them fish on a documentary before, they really look alien, highly sophisticated deep ocean dwellers, how you came up with the analogy of the lantern, is nearly as mysterious as the fish, great haiku and brilliant photos to accompany, cheers David

Hi David, Thank you so much for reading and commenting; you figure, Haiku is like a flash or an ignite in one's spirit; if I don't write it when I get the light, I'll never be able to write it again. The analogy between the two is darkness and vastness because whenever we are as human beings, we need that dim light. However, you want to term it metaphysical, theological, or self-confidence, so to navigate this world, we need that dim light. Have a great rest of your day.//LAS
