harbour moon
the loneliness of fishermen
under lighthouse cliff              -    Joe of FlatHeadHaiku
longing for bountiful catch
giving conscience a big nudge

harbour moon
the loneliness of fishermen
under lighthouse cliff              -    Joe of FlatHeadHaiku
akin to misfortune of
the chosen ones who lost out

harbour moon
the loneliness of fishermen
under lighthouse cliff              -   Joe of FlatHeadHaiku
sheltering from onslaught of
those who sinned without mercy

  4. I think there are many of us longing for a bountiful catch and, to mix metaphors, our ship never comes in! ;)
