One Fish… Airport Fish? [Haiku]

in the airport,
 i stop mid-stride, a fish
  has my attention.

Tail Whip Splash [Haiku]

silence
 in the koi pond; then:
  a tail whip splash

Pufferfish [Senryū]

beached pufferfish.
better we meet 
on my turf

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
