Bait

dragged to his ruin
ravening fish came to eat -
floating bait of meat.

Can't help but think what fools fish can be! You'd think their mothers would warn them. No?! LOL. Nice senryu, Jenish.

Congrats for your HM, Jenish. I think in my poem you just read, I did not make clear what I meant underneath, so I clarified at the top. It was not an April Fool's joke.
