Hi, Teresa.

I'm fascinated by the natural beauty of corals, as depicted in your excellent artwork.

A well compiled haiku but, with respect, I found the last line a little abrupt, and I'm not sure a 'house' suits a fish habitat.

Maybe, 'fish haven' which has a double meaning as a 'house' and also a place of protection where their colours mingle in with the coral to camouflage them to an extent.

Cheers, Ray xx

fish haven may have been a better choice. Thanks for the review:)

Anyone who have looked closely at coral reef would see the picture in you haiku. I love anemones and always photograph them. they provide safe sanctuary to small fish.

This is certainly a colorful presentation! Easy on the eyes. May I suggest you change reef(s) to reef in the title. Fish house is a very clever line working with the anemones theme! Good luck.

And such a vibrant, colorful home it would be, huh? Coral reefs are home to numerous aquatic creatures. It's hard to say what would happen to them all if something were to happen to our oceans vast array of reefs.

Great haiku, very well presented. Unusual 4-9-2 syllable count. Should do well in the contest.

Good luck!

good luck in the contest

your syllable count within guidelines

your few words allow the reader to see and feel the fish house amongst the coral reef is inside anemones

good visual

What a fantastic, technicolor artwork and clever satori. Your use of "decorated" is very effective. Best wishes in the contest and happy Sunday- Joan
