Mick Talbot Poet Haiku

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

Tom Cunningham April 20, 2018 at 2:30 AM I agree with Jan , you should get them out to a wider audience. Everyone a gem. Tom. Mick Talbot April 22, 2018 at 11:25 AM 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) Mick Talbot April 22, 2018 at 10:01 AM Thanks, Tom, Three now pending. Waiting, like watching paint dry. (Mrs proper poorly, will be pinching moments to write and post, when she is resting). Mick
