Caterpillar's Gait

Short, slow legs cannot
Escape the fisherman's hook
Today we eat bream


Caterpillar's gait contest sponsored by Raul Moreno
Photo in brilliant greens with a green and black caterpillar on a leaf.

Doris, a cool take on the caterpillar photo. I was not inspired by this one, so did not enter. I have seen some very cool Haiku tho that came from this one. Thanks so much for your comment Doris. Agape, Moses
