Each haiku gives a strong image of what happens to the fish being caught and being eaten. Nice nature artwork.

Comment from Dean Kuch
That's what writing haiku is all about, Andre.
Taking your own life experiences, stepping back and looking at a certain memory or event where you connected with nature in some way, be it profound or subtle, and then writing about the incident as a present tense observation.
Just as you've done so brilliantly here.
I enjoyed both of these very much.
Well done!

Yes, Dean, haiku, as you said, invites me to take my "own life experiences, stepping back and looking at a certain memory or event where you connected with nature in some way, be it profound or subtle, and then writing about the incident as a present tense observation." I am having a lot of fun seeing with new eyes and writing these. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Heather Knight
Poor little fish! I know this is part of the natural order of things, but I find it sad all the same.
The eaglets will be happy though.
Thanks for sharing your lovely poem.

Hi Sis Cat
I really like your hiakus very much. the do relate to each other and have great satori lines. I love the artwork of the Eagle clasping on to the fish for dear life.
Well done

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi Sis - two excellent haiku. In both cases lines one and two interconnect perfectly. Also lines three in both cases are very good satori. Satori in haiku one is a very good example of homophone. Two clever haiku - well done. Regards Dorothy

Comment from bookishfabler
Well here I am again reviewing a haiku. Well, technically two. what I liked about this was it didn't need the picture for me to know what you were writing about. Great job

Yes, Heidi, I always strive to paint a picture in as few words as possible. Others write what I call ekphrastic haiku, or haiga, because they need the pictures to explain them. Thank you for your review.
-
For me, many poems need pictures to explain them. LOL.
-
And for me, unless I am creating an Ekphrastic poem or a Haiga, if my poems need pictures to explain them, I am not doing a good enough job. I write poetry that invite readers to create their own pictures.

Comment from barkingdog
I didn't know eagles fished. Awesome!
Both haiku are so visual and have good movement. I can almost smell the salt water and hear the splash. Fine descriptions; one with a gasping fish(clever play on words: air apparent)
and the other with gaping beak eaglets(fish flown daily--nice alliteration and 'l' consonance).
Maybe if I read enough of these beauties, I'll learn how to write one.
I really enjoy reading the Club's weekly challenges.

Thank you, barkingdog, for your review. I didn't know eagles fished until I saw a bald eagle fly over my backyard carrying a swishing salmon in its talons. I never forgot the sight. Thank you for your review.
