this week’s writer’s island: no 21 posted a photo entitled fisherman by vane kosturanov [see below] …and from there it’s a sorta freefall…. be sure to stop by the island this week…
having recently visited a blog senderupwords who has numerous conversations with hemingway [excellent series] reminded me of his wonderful story about “the old man and the sea” and when i arrived at the island and saw this week’s prompt abt a man fishing… well, went fishin’ myself and brought this up from the deep and floated to the surface….
caressing the small ark
the water splashes her wings
swaying the still
Winged water
how lovely!
hi nimaruichi, thank you for stoppin by….
And your blog is using the “Hemingway” theme, too
isn’t that odd… i did not notice that until later.. i got hemingway on the mind…. gonna have to read that book again… [old man and the sea]
This is beautiful.
hello deborah, thank you for stoppin by
The still, swayed. Wonderful. The simple language amplifies the quiet scene.
hi ron, yes, sometimes i forget abt the simple language and make poems a bit too multi-layered and complex, losing the poem…
Beautiful!

A lovely use of words.
Oh, that’s lovely.
That’s what’s so fascinating about haiku: the poet has no excuse not to get right to the kernel.
Beautiful words here in your haiku. Your choices resonate with so many pleasing images!
absolutely viv… it is good to visit the sparse of haiku…
