Darlene, I know its natural but I want the fat fish to get away, wonderfully penned 7 and thanks for visiting my senryu poem

Darlene Gifford

Anything is possible! If only that fish would stop splashing and drawing attention to itself! (Like some humans). Thanks for your sympathetic response and for the 7. And I enjoyed your senryu, too.

Your comments are appreciated and reassuring, because I am not that used to writing haikus. But the more of them I write, the easier they become. They are challenging and fun. ~~Darlene
