Haiku on Gray Mullet

Haiku on Gray Mullet

The fisherman waits
as gray mullet feeds on weed
that he has grown them

The tide turns in time
and slowly the boat circles
as fish and man graze

Tails stemming the stream
fins disturb the bright surface
creating ripples

He can just reach them
spinney dorsals stiff to touch
shining scales reflect

Shall he capture one
or will he let them swim free
for other hunters?

More tranquile to watch
the submariners repast
by evening light fall
