Glad you enjoyed the little trip beneath the sea in haiku form lol
I completely get where you're coming from with the snorkeling. when I can't scuba dive in the tropics, snorkeling and duck diving comes a close second :)
I've been thinking a lot about haiku since I started with Mizu No Oto contest. It seems to me one trick is to see the simplest aspects of things, so simple they are difficult to see at all. Your haiku gives the elements of color, water and hunger as natural and right. Nice job!

Spot on owasco. That's the mastery of haiku for sure. Lol, it's also why people who don't write haiku see them and say things like 'thats easy, I could do that'... because great haiku seem simple, but it's getting that perfect moment crystallized in efficient yet transcendental imagery that's far from easy.
That is lovely, @raj808. It makes me want to go snorkeling one where tropical. (I’m scared to death of diving, but I do love to snorkel!)
