Taste of Freedom

trout leaps, splashes back
                        rapid creek, 'neath submerged rock
            angler misses luck
                                        
                                       as somewhere...

                                      fish in a glass bowl
                        swims with neither smile nor scowl
            pensive as an owl

                                      while out there...

                                      hornbill knocks on wood
                        superstition understood
            fly away it would
