Very nice
Excellent imagery. Loved the photo as an extension.
Thanks for entering.

Outstanding pic...you'd think the shark was full-up, but somehow he still has room for a limb or two of yours!
The title sums it all up, and the haiku reminds that dreams are also devoured as "unfortunate collateral damages" in the wake of greed and monied power.

Thanks, hon. I "put" the money in the shark's mouth.
Hmm.. I like the word "devoured"

I like the alliteration running through this whimsical thought, a very nice 'Ku. All the best in the contest, a very nice take on the given prompt
