Reader Submitted Fishing Haiku Contest - Who is Interested?

Ok, so I think that this could be fun, funny, and interesting, all at the same time.  Let me know if you are interested, and I might come up with some type of "award,"  for your own bragging rights (it wont be worth any money.)  Here are the details:


Basically, YOU would write a Haiku that relates to fishing, and email it to me.  If I think that is it "worthy," I will share it with everyone else, and we will do some type of voting for the "winner."

For those that don't know, here is what a Haiku is:

haiku  plural of hai·ku (Noun)

Noun         A Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five.         An English imitation of this. Now, I understand that modern adaptations of this type of poem do not follow these strict line/syllable rules, but these are the guidelines that we will follow. So... Your poem must have THREE LINES and must relate to fishing. Line One: Contains FIVE SYLLABLES Line Two: Contains SEVEN SYLLABLES Line Three: Contains FIVE SYLLABLES Here is my quick example: Fishing is great fun, You cast, you retreive, you catch, You let the fish go. Ok, I did that in 30 seconds, so don't give me too much hell for it.  But anyway, a Haiku should have a ton of imagery (if you don't know what imagery in literature is, go back to 6th grade...that is what I teach in 6th grade reading), but YOUR'S DOES NOT HAVE TO.  If you can, great, if not, make it funny or something. Are you interested?
