Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Nice delicious Haiku!! 😉
Quickest way to get North, defying wind and snow, to catch a Halibut is on Horseback!! 🙂

bon appetite, Write Girl 🙂
I have read that the true test of good haiku is if the last and first lines can be transposed. Well, your haiku would work just as excellently if it read:
A delicacy –
largest of flatfish; truly
no stranger to chefs
So I doff my hat in awe at your superior skill….
thanks Catherine 🙂 glad you liked the transposed and the original versions 😉
