For Rlvs, whose challenge to write something about animals I did not see until the contest was over. Inspired by Flowing Pencil who telescoped two poems into one (separated here like yolks from egg whites) and believes haiku should create a mood, an atmosphere, not try to tell a story. In your feedback, if any, please say why you think the haiku pattern works or does not work in English.

Okay, I don't know if this has ever been done on this site. I am posting the text for a children's picture book I am writing. I want to know if it flows, makes sense, if the word choices seem right. Each paragraph represents a page. The parenthetical remarks are to let you know what the illustration will be with each page. The beginning part of the story is just what the fisherman sees as he makes his way to the harbor to go fishing. About halfway through we actually see the fisherman and of course the pelican joins him. All feedback for this project is appreciated.

This is my first try at Tanka. Found the definition on the web as follows: "Haiku is always written in 3 lines. Tanka has an additional 2 lines of 7 syllables each with a line space after the Haiku section." Also, I am following the rule that I researched on the web that long vowells count as two syllables, or onji.
