There is no greater joy then to know whole souled you have done a very noticeable deed not so much in the eyes of flesh but more rewardingly is to feel the Heavens open and the smile of divine approval becomes internally revealed to your inner mind eyes heart which openly acknowledges the warmth and break taking experience you feel at that very moment....So wonderfully expressed my brother Darren....Cranial Thinker

    Your perspective warms my heart and brings a smile to my face with the realization that someone out there not only understands my deep writing, but feels my lonely feelings.
    You are truly my best friend and brother here.
    Thanks, Darren

My goodness! Inspired to write 6!!

I think this one is my favorite. The opening imagery is stark
and the satori line rumbles with things like compassion,
understanding and weighing need :-)

My only niggle is with the word "so" in the final line. I think
it would be stronger without it . . .more in keeping with the
conciseness haiku strives for :-)

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review. I am so stuck on the seventeen syllable count, that I forget that less is not only acceptable, but desirable here.
    I really appreciate your comments, and I am now going to make it even better because of your advice.
    Thanks so much!,
    Blessings,

I love bird poetry and you tell a tale in your words. I can feel the presence of the mother eagle and her quest to feed her young. Excellent haiku form that creates a clear scene of nature.

Two predators after the same catch one predator relents and gives in. Victory this time to the bird of pray over the frustrated angler!

AAAhhh I love the tenderness and the knowledge you put into this haiku. I can see it happening and the interaction between man and animal was great

You say so much with just a few words. I thought the solution to the eagle grabbing the fisherman's catch was just perfect. Now the eagle can take the fish to her young and you can catch another fish. Everyone wins. The title says it all. Good job, Darren.

A well-written challenge poem. I think you have done well completing the challenge and the artwork completed the poem very well.The eagle was a very good choice for this challenge.

Yes this is well written my friend the only thing I might have changed is the word clutching to clutches I think it sounds better well-done regards Jill
