Hooked Fish, Fish, Fishing Shadows, Fish

FISHING SHADOWS © Haiku Two fins tread water Fish swim the shadowed shelf ledge Breathing from its gills! Swimming Fish © Haiku Probing fish swim near Fins redirect the swimming ‘school’ And a baited worm waits! Safe Place © Haiku Deep broken ships lay With some hiding fish Far from unseen predators. fish Hooked Fish © Haiku Fish fins steer the swim Far from hidden predators And baited worm hook-lines! fish FISHING SHADOWS © Haiku Fish under the sea Breathing from two gills While fins tread water! fish Swimming Fish © Haiku Safely from death's door Fluttering fins steer the swim Predators are seen! fish DARK SPACES © Haiku Bidding fish on sunken ships Lay in gloom from lighted dark spaces Way far from death's floor!

Thank you for choosing my haiku poems. I have needed to correct some of the syllable count as the poems were my first attempts and were badly done--- I didn 't want what was posted set as 'chosen' material....there fore I have reposted these new 'set' haiku efforts. Thank you also this is a great encouragement setter for my word/works.

Thank you just new at this and Tanka forms of poetry. I find them very challenging and fun in word-play. Glad you liked them. Have a great weekend too and your words are very encouraging. I think I will like it here!

I love Eastern forms of are and have tried my hand at water colour painting with Chinese brushes. Now that is challenging! I thought I would use them with my poems, but being a 'newbie' to this poetry soup---I haven't had success in making cards with my own artwork and poetry in being able to down load and apply both together.
