Haiku

salmon leap... for life shallow streams bid them welcome otters... all well fed elvers... millions passing salmon parr... seabound smoked eel... delicious tench... the doctor fish sought by the diseased... ailing the river flows on the great white shark swims an ever hungry beauty makes good poetry the Nile perch... hungry nigh ate Lake Victoria greedy humans European perch freshwater tiger mimics finned finesse... tasty Tommy Ruffe a freshwater Pope... fishy no bad habits whale sharks fancy the small things in life jellyfish can sting a fishy tale... sirens of the oceans Davy Jones... shoppers

Jan and Tom, If are wondering why I am not commenting on yours and others poetry, well it is because of two loopholes, which would allow me to see who enters my contest. Whether its the same for other sponsors I don't know, but its definitely that way for me. Tom, If you wish you can pass this on to all. It is an anomaly I stumbled on, which I don't think is fair and I think PS should do something about it. (for obvious reasons)
