This haiku poem, in response to animal families prompt, is informative and witty. I was unaware that a group of otters is referred to as a family. The image of a seafood feast resonates effectively. Nicely presented.

Yay! With your fine NaPo project finished you are now on to new adventures. The otters are such fun, and you have captured that perfectly, and a raw fish dinner almost sound appetizing. lol

Excellent haiku, and many thanks for sharing. :)

Good one--very clever--even without the brilliant double-play on family. Thanks for notes on that Great alliteration family/feast/fed/fish. (A group of crows is called a "murder"--someone recently had fun with that one!)

Hello, Debra,
What a adorable.... a family. I really like your group of animals haiku. I've been having a lot of fun reading all the entries. I love the presentation and imagery too. :) Well done!

We have a family of otters on the lake where we live. They are the cutest things. We've never been able to snap a picture though. They are wild, fast, and slippery. They are always together.

Sweet poem for today, and aptly illustrated too.

Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs...

It is surprising to me how much food there is for these larger sea creatures but I expect fish breed quite quickly, so there is always a food source, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

That's a lot of alliteration (family -feast on hand-fed fish) in this little haiku! I like that the otters are called "family" - they always seem so happy and friendly. Great job!
At last, April is over and we can get to our other challenges in clubs etc!

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all! I felt this poem was not only engaging but found a healthy message stated! The artwork is perfect and compliments both the theme and words of this poem.

Your ultra-concise ekphrastic poem is vividly descriptive--very well done.
It tells of how one creature in nature survives by devouring another creature.
