small stream haiku challenge

[gusstrand]

One of the things that smallstreams has been rightfully known for are the stories. We've had contests, thought about books, etc. in the past. Sure, there's trip reports and photos and all, but the stories... that's some interweb good eatin' right there~!

So here's a fun one. To get your creative juices flowing, I'm not asking for a full blown story... post a haiku about your small stream experiences...

Looseley translated and perfect for our use, a Haiku is three lines, in 5-7-5 syllables with at least one reference to a season.

Sort of like this:

water over stones
autumn chill, leaves changing shades
listen to the stream

So, let's hear yours!

Colors of fishing

Fall orange Caddis
Strike roan Cutt, Bend blonde cane
Release sapphire pool

I'll have a go.....

fireflies fluttering
scented smoke, flickering flames
hypnotic dreamer

[Ernest]

Leaves fall to water.
At the strike I lift my rod,
A trout pulls for home.

[gusstrand]

Great ones guys! More please!
Your poetry inspires me.
Keep Up the great work!

[Jax]

The strike is silent
The response explosive
The outcome uncertain

[Lotech Joe]

Mist rising from pool,
Smell of cedar in the air,
Fresh day brings new life.
