Haiku Happy
So I entered a contest recently. The contest was to come up with a haiku (5-7-5) that made the contest sponsor feel like they were on the flats trying to catch bonefish. Here are my entries (none of which were good enough to win - I wonder if I was at least one of the first losers or if these suck and I was at the back of the pack. Ahhh whatever - I didn't need that cool prize anyways - and I bet it was the wrong color (just kidding - I like haikus and I hope YOU like them, mine, too). The positioning of the these are going to be screwed up by this new blogger format (where you can't space paragraphs out anymore, but despite the setback, Enjoy!!!
Tan Bonefish Bitter
Strong Fluorocarbon leader
Smoking eight weight reel //
Fly fishing for bones
Smiling the entire time
Nothing is better //
Aquatic mirage
I felt you take my fly
Now you are both gone //
Bonefish I see you
All sleek, silver and shiny
Three two one fish on!!! //
Barely visible
I try my best to woo you
You laugh at me hard //
Peeling off backing
You are heading for the rocks
I am left broken //
Blue sky warm water
Light breeze and willing bonefish
Simple perfection
