1. kingfisher says grace
   blesses the sacred fish
   then eats it.

   Cheers!

2. Wow, love that first one especially Bjorn.

   Kingfisher Haibun

3. Well said. I love the percussion of the description of a terrible (for the fish) beauty (that we can not wear and show off).

4. Vivid, thought-provoking poems! But I don’t see why, if a kingfisher can bless at all, he wouldn’t also bless the fish!Kingfisher

5. Did you know Van Gogh had a kingfisher painting or learned by googling? That’s amazing. Love both your haiku.

   • I found it on my virtual gallery… wikipaintings.org (follow the link back to the source)

6. Fish … beware !!!

7. Finely done, Bjorn. I love the painting 🙂

8. Quite out of character, I’m going to focus on the Van Gogh, instead of your words. I never knew he painted a kingfisher. Thank you for introducing me to this exquisite piece of art.

9. ahh… loved the twist on this… made me chuckle

10. I guess the pond works hard to keep the kingfisher well-fed, so it deserves the kingfisher’s blessings…If a fish ate the bird, i would feel bad, but, somehow, a fish’s death isn’t terribly sad…

    • Actually pikes eat ducks… But they can be quite big… like small crocs
