mentors,

          Question, is it ok to asign human emotions and/or thoughts to animals in a haiku?
          such as "a fish feeling bigger in a small pond". Some internet sites say its ok others say no.



           We are leaving los angeles heading to vancouver canada so I will be offline for the next week

         a student of haiku, Darrell

Hi Darrell

Have a great time!

Any chance you'll visit Toronto?

Your is two fold.

re the fish I just see that as a saying, a sort of aphorism.

re animals etc I suggest reading up on Issa. Check out David Lanoue (his website and also Daily Issa)  or Robert Hass (Essential Haiku Poets).

Enjoy!

all my best

Alan
