A Bill Cooper haiku is always a treat.

alpenglow the minnow slips a second paw
—BILL COOPER

Works for me as a poem, just curious if the minnow is a fishing lure, or the actual fish.
Terrific haiku!

.
A one-bun, a term created by Jim Kacian:
Blackbird singing
and a long long walk to be brain-tired out to avoid the internal black dog and survive each footfall at a time
boys fishing
a pointillism of raindrops
dotting the river

And a standalone monoku:
leaves begin to fall this face too evolves from fish

__My inerudite echo._m
Sunset; this mountain stream's minnow; stretched shadow.
__Ah, that pesky cat_!
I had never heard of the term 'alpenglow' – what a beautiful word. I love how nature is embraced in this haiku, Bill.
