haiku of child fishing

rippling across the pond
it bobs
sluices of water
ripple
a line dropped
by a frightened child
goldfish
dropped on the grass
a baited worm
swallowed
caught in a gaping mouth
the child frightened
ran off
the fish died
too long out of water.

A reflection of something we all do...and hope to turn around before it's too late. "Too long out of water" indeed.
