This haiku, Colorful Friend, has a five- seven-five setup and moves us from the reality of fish to the mythology of the sea in seventeen syllable. Nice.

I enjoyed the simple imagery of the second line and the fact that you refereed to the fish as mermaids. As someone who is not to crazy about haiku's I did like this one.

I love these little fish with their neon blue streaks, this stunning poem perfectly describes their playful energy, one of the most perfectly worded short poems I have read well done. Kind regards Meia x

It's nice to imagine friendship with the fish. There are so many varieties of them. Some are really colorful. I wonder if the tails belong to the mermaids and the fins to the fish?

This is a fun and entertaining haiku. Paints a good, strong mental picture. Excellent use of artwork. I don't see anything that needs to be corrected. Thank you for writing and sharing.

I like the fairytale mood of your 5-7-5 haiku and your use of colors and the sense of touch. The colorful photograph is the perfect accent. Cheers- Joan

This was a delightful thought. It showed the freedom of the fishes as they swim around in the ocean and it reinforced the belief of mermaids. Great job, rather enjoyable, thanks.

In my opinion, another lovely and imaginative rendering by this writer - the sea supports all life and, I believe in the fantasy world of mermaids, presented so gently in free verse...

What a lovely haiku! I only wish that mermaids were real - LOL! Your imagery is wonderful, even if one of those two concrete images grammatically connected isn't real - LOL. Your satori, too, leaves me with such a feeling of warmth - beautiful!
