Here on Cape Cod we have many ospreys, so it is a delight to read a poem about them. They often build nests on top of telephone poles here. Excellent poem that shows nature in action.

An excellent Haiku for the contest. What a magnificent photo to accomany your clever words. There is a sinister tone, a warning. I like that the reader draws the conclusion re the very imminent future. Best wishes for your entry.

Gosh, what an amazing animal/bird haiku. I always forget about ospreys as an 'o' animal instead of 'ostrich' or 'orangutan' for alphabetical animals. Thank you for a memorable reminder on what they are likely to be doing. They really do look like eagles. Great entry.

Thank you, yes, they are quite often mistaken for eagles, they are part of their family I believe, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

Nice one, and I especially like that it's in the more traditional way. Though I don't American haiku has become baffling to me. I love choice of subject, and yup those fish better be beware. Nice one

Hi Kym,
This haiku has a good flow between the first two lines and a strong last line which exudes the idea of the fish losing their lives when the osprey feeds.
Keep writing and stay healthly
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

This is a great entry for the contest. We often wonder what's dangerous lurking beneath the water, but forget to look up! Unique take on dangerous waters from the perspective of the osprey...

Hi Kahpot,
I really loved this haiku. What I like most about your haiku is titled correctly! THANK YOU!!!
(I think the "H" in haiku may need to be in lowercase though... you may want to check.)

I loved that you used the Osprey. People usually go for Eagles and Hawks. This is a lovely image.
Good luck with the contest!
Susan :)
