Haiku Friday: Fish


I realize that this topic may seem a little bit like having a theme of "broccoli," but I think fish have a significant role in our culture. In Minnesota, fishing bonds generations, and some people say that the mark of a good cook is how well they can prepare easy-to-destroy fish. Jesus appeared to the Disciples the first and last time when they were fishing, too.  And if nothing else, we all had a favorite goldfish.

Let's haiku about that this week: It can be about catching fish or cooking fish or raising fish or the game of "Go Fish," or whatever! Here, I will go first:

Dappled green and grey
A quick flash and it is gone
See you next year, King.

It is your turn now! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable formula, and have some fun!

    Forty at Grandma's
    No one brought food enough
    Cousins must rescue.

    Mixed some bacon grease
    in a peanut butter jar
    grabbed some fishin gear.

    Out to the bayou
    four rigs, six hooks on each rig,
    mounted on Y sticks.

    Dip each hook in jar;
    put rig on sticks in water;
    finish fourth rig, AND

    Start pulling cat fish
    from the first stick and reload.
    Fish to feed 40

    Return to Grandma's
    one hour after leaving, with
    fish cleaned and ready

    to bread and fry with
    hush puppies and potatoes.
    Every one ate to full.

    Wish I knew today
    What Cousin Bobby put in
    jar with bacon grease.
