Mesmerizing Monkeys [Haiku]

fish swim idly,
monkeys watch the fish;
monkey TV?

Koi of Many Colors [Haiku]

in a color storm 
of roiling koi, a plain
white fish sticks out

Physician’s Limerick

There was a mean old physician
who'd always been on a grand mission
to make patients thinner.
He told them for dinner
they should only eat what they caught fishin'.

Koi Churn [Haiku]

the pond's surface roils,
as koi thrash - orange flames
in feeding frenzy

Ocean Awe [Haiku]

lost in ocean awe,
still enough that fish gather
in one's shadow

Fisher [Haiku]

watching a duckling
hold a thrashing fish tightly,
i drop my corn chip

This was taken with a cheap underwater camera while snorkeling off Ambergris Caye in Belize. The fish align themselves in the shadows of boats. The water is shallow there, and so the sun blazes off the white sand on the bottom. The fish apparently have a hard time getting fishtan lotion, and need to take advantage of any shadow they can get.
