Diane M Quinlan Poet Haiku

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!

Diane M Quinlan May 17, 2015 at 2:10 PM 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.

Anne-Lise Andresen May 15, 2015 at 12:30 PM - Well done "fish" haikus, Diane ! - I love Haiku poem - Welcome to P-Soup :) - I wish you a beautiful and peaceful weekend - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Diane M Quinlan May 15, 2015 at 3:17 PM 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! Diane M Quinlan May 15, 2015 at 3:17 PM 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.
