Leaves decay

This is a powerful haiku. What is the "Black Water" a metaphor for? As to my poem I think I was trying to show that lepoards don's change their spots just like that. I don't condone piracy but I do like reading novels about it. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

I gather you refer to the notorious Black Water Agence with questionable operations globally. I have read some research material on them and I must say your poetry describes them spot on! Very good write with a moral from it for us all.
