Exerpt #4 from: Hook, Line & Haiku

Written on Jan 09, 2014 

Breaching the surface
largemouth jumps up to see if…
It can hold its breath.
 

The pregnant fishes
lounge upon the riverbed
waiting to give birth.
 

Dancing smallmouth bass
pirouettes around boat
looking for handouts.
 

Learning never ends! 
For even the fish will stay…
Forever in school.
 

Protective coating: 
Slimy perspective to us; 
Life saving to them.
