Hi,
I really liked the two Haiku.
The picture goes right along with them.
I have always liked eagles and I collect pictures and figurines of them.
Over all two interesting works.
Best regards,
K River

You have a true understanding of this form! The fact that you are able to tell such an action filled story using haiku is impressive. The line "air apparent" is particularly stunning. Nice job!

Hey Sis((((((((((((((((... great visual to add your descriptive words to.

Two very visual haiku's that capture the food for thought in lingering flow.

I live on a river, by the sea... I watch osprey's daily catching their children's quarry... never tire of seeing it... it's something so special each and every time.

Really enjoyed reading the magic of your words.

With our thoughts we create,
flying fish.
James.

Great pairing SC - your imagery gives us two "visions" - one from the
fishes point of perspective and one from the fisher's perspective, with
two cleverly utilized "wording twists" as satori lines.

Nicely done :-)

    Yes, Leineco, I love my word twists from two different perspectives. Thank you for your review.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Two twinned skillfully written haiku which mingle one into the other throughout their concrete natural images and cleverly selected alliterations and picture.

-The eagle is such a majestic bird and also a caring parent, in most cases.
-I like both of your haiku very much.
-I like how you relate catching the fish to getting it to the young.
-Format is good, excellent concrete imagery, and a particularly good satori in the first one.
-Thanks for sharing and have a good 2017.

Air apparent...stunning interpretation of this phrase!

Seafood flown daily...Though I was in a restaurant :D

Wonderful in imagery and in content, here Andre. I like the two part Haiku that follows up with the first part.

Ah, a two for one Hi-Coo throw-down. Like the eagle, these soar to heaven on wings of, well.....eagles. Nice play on words and clever analogy (heir apparent, seafood flown, etc.). Very evocative with nice visual imagery....Gaping beak, gasping fish. Good use of alliteration.... Gills Gasping, flies fish. Like Woody Allen once said....nature is like one big restaurant.
