Haiku

dive deep... daredevils 
           lanternfish... eels... vampire squid
                   darkness... luminesce

Mick Talbot Date: 4/23/2018 9:12:00 AM Congratulations on your gold medal win Gershon! Vampire squid just recently watched a program on these monsters of the deep, named after their colour, not their habit. Great haiku...
