Richard Mcclellan Poet Haiku

Fishing Haiku

fishing excitement great,
landing one is fun,
to the water I must go,

~*~

on the bank I do stand,
baiting my hook and casting the pole,
watching for line dance,

~*~

moments of time tick,
awaiting a fish to bite,
fishing pole jerking,

~*~

pulling to set the hook,
the fishing line is pulling my drag,
excitement flows,

~*~

seeing the big fish swimming,
pulling it to the waters edge,
grab the fish to unhook,

~*~

pushing the stringer through,
wonderful fish finally caught,
to the pan he goes so tasty,
