Congratulations on your gold medal win Andrea. Great haiku, a hover of trout, like it, can't remember a shoal of trout being so-called, a new one for me... Mick

You have projected a lovely image, Andrea. Rainbow trout, especially the male, have beautiful colours. The arc and rainbow compliment one another. ~ As an aside...you'll find the book "Fishes" by Brian Wildsmith interesting. Regards // paul
