Flailing vi'lently

Screams, abject terror, panic rules

Leaches in my trunks!

This pairing is truly lovely. Thank you, Matt, I really enjoyed all of your submissions.

Thanks, man. Haiku is my favorite poetry. After naughty limericks...

This is great! Never got haiku. Like a witty limerick more. Changing my tune guys.

This was a pretty neat idea Martin!

OK, I'll give y'all the weekend to consume adult beverages, smoke green leafy substances, and compose poetry. Then Monday I'll call for nominations.

Then a forum-wide poll, and THEN I'll wrest the fish appliques from Casper's clinging grasp!

Thanks, DLV.
I'm rather fond of this one from Smilingfrog:

A tadpole madtom
Gently cradled in my hand
Arm getting tingly

These two get my vote.

Swift, riffly waters

New chases, new fishes, joy

A little boy once more

Swift, riffly waters

Old chases, old fishes, joy

The treasure of age.

Irate, my favorite was your own fleeing topminnow post. If the contest host cannot be nominated then it is a tough choice between Mike Lucases snorkeling Haiku, and fallfish tenkara's haiku. (They were all good, the bullhead fry one also stands out. )

OK, I'll put up the poll as soon as nominations dry up, work schedule permitting. Actually it looks like we have almost as many nominations as entries! I'll permit my own feeble entry to be included, out of a profound sense of duty :-D But anything by Casper is RIGHT OUT! (The term "Vogon Poetry" comes to mind).
