I loved "glancing over the menu" ! What a humorous view of the osprey's view over the waters. I have been canoeing on a lake when an osprey dove right next to us and boy, do they make a big splash to get their prey!
Best wishes in the contest!

cute idea and picture, however, to me, it would sound better if you said "checking out", instead of glancing over, because he's looking over the precipace of something, and it sounds like it means "perched above, glancing over the edge of..., instead of glancing, or looking over the menu.
Is that clear as mud??? :)
what about: osprey, perched above, checking out the menu~ dangerous waters. And by the way, why dangerous waters? what about, dinner below, or something.
I'm sorry. Your poem sounds lovely, it just seemed a bit confusing to me.

    the osprey is a sea eagle (water is their menu) and if I were a fish I would be in danger, I love this review and comments, so much for me to consume, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

Great poem, and I especilly liked the art work with it. It gave more imagery, and meaning to your poem. Well done. I especially thought that your words flowed together well. Thank you for sharing.

Your contest entry read well, Kahpot. The picture was great.
Your words painted a picture for readers. The satori was a great
choice. Your second line has only 6 syllables and needs seven,
though the rules state 'normally' seventeen syllables.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

You have chosen a beautiful pic to describe a way of life that God has ordained for one of His majestic creation. Loved your description of his perusing the menu.
