night fishing
moonlight fills
a hole in the ice

night fishing
moonligt falls through
a hole in the ice
I throw a fishline into the lake
and caught
the remembrances of love

This haiku resonates beautifully and is one of the finest I have seen of late. The rain, rainbow/trout is a master stroke.

the big fish

i knew there had to be other haiku fishermen! excellent!
a forest pool
rainbows pacing
awaiting spring showers

in the dark–
fearful of what held my line
