Lovely depiction as to the inclusion and connection of the image. I almost think you outdo yourself with having two for they are both class worthy, yet I would keep the concentration focused on one as so the potency is directed in one area...as good as it is.
Great imagery.

My best wishes.

    Thank you, RG, for your generous review and suggestions. Sometimes I have so many haiku ideas that I have content to spare to focus on two or more. Reviewers also report that they enjoy being told linked stories with my haiku and being given a choice to pick which one is their favorite.
reply by RGstar on 03-Jan-2017
    Yes, absolutely, that is another way of looking at it...when linked, as when you wrote 5, yet when they are quite similar, it is dificult to differentiate, for only a few thoughts compared to a full poem with many.

    But, I agree, it is when the moment takes that deters...and so should it be.
    best wishes.

Excellent response to the challenge! I much prefer haiku #2. The punch line is hilarious!, (in stark contrast to the other, as you probably know). Too bad it's not a contest entry!
Happy New Year!

These are two excellent haiku involving air. I especially liked the satori line "air apparent." Very clever. The second one is equally clever however. I am always in great awe of those who can write good haiku. You have definitely earned my respect and admiration. MM

I believe in reincarnation. Next time around, I'd like to be an eagle. Who hasn't dreamed they could fly? They're a protected species, too. Thank for a wonderful haiku.

Strong words in your Haiku poem. As strong as eagle's claws to grab the fish and carry it to the nest. Perhaps, to feed hungry babies. Very well presented and coordinated with the vivid image bringing us closer as we were the photographer who took it. Blessings, Ella

    Yes, padumachitta, the air theme is part of the Haiku Club Challenge, but each poet chooses his or her own picture. Thank you for your review.

These are both very good examples of well constructed haiku. I personally thought the first one by far the better of the two as the satori was AWESOME and the opening imagery implied powerful action. Nicely done and I thank you very much for sharing it.

AHA!

These are quite good and rather funny, Andre. I got a giggle out of each one. If you lived near the Eastern seaboard, I bet these would feel even more close to home, eh? This was fun!

    Robyn, I live on the Western seaboard where I witnessed an eagle fly a fish behind my house. Thank you for your review of my haiku duet. I appreciate it.

    Oh! I didn't mean to imply that you wouldn't, Andre. It's just that I'm more familiar with the Eastern side. OOps! Sorry!

That must have been amazing to see. They are gorgeous creatures. Your haikus were equally amazing, I thought the last line of the first one was so clever, air apparent, lol. Well done, you succeeded in this weeks challenge brilliantly. :) Sandra xxx
