This is a lovely summer haiku. Your first two lines tie together well to form a vivid image in my mind and the satori a large fishing port. Probably really smelly too.
Great word economy! Well done.

Good Morning, Poet,

This is an excellent example of minimal haiku, thus allowing the reader to imagine its lines and think of his/her own images of fishing boats at the shore. You've presented an observable moment in time--nothing abstract here. While fisherman work year-round, this is a good entry for the summer haiku.

a good read this morning.

Ray

    Thank you for your review, much appreciated. I do know, they work all year, but as a visitor to the shore as I, ; the shore is kind of bare and beautiful in winter's snow. In the summer it is mobbed with fishermen; cooking lobsters and fish on the docks. Boat to pot. A wonderous place.

As always, you've done a great job with this haiku. The few words tell a story and the reader gets the feeling of the fisherman's life and fishing. Thank you for sharing,

You have created a simply but wonderfully stated state of affairs. Along with the image, this wonderful haiku has a salty brine and an atmospheric feel to it. I can almost hear the gulls and smell the fish. Makes me hungry! well written, thanks for sharing.

Blessings,
Brother Badger

Second review

Good job! I found typos in my review notes, too! Always good to proof out stuff!


First review (FOUR stars)

Excellent word economy and imagery. Good portrait of a place in few words. Fine presentation as well., It is a true to form haiku.

However, in such a short form, a glaring spag error forces me to award a four. however, I am also happy to revise the rating if you fix it!

fisherman

drag in their lines

finsherMAN is singular.

Change to: Fishermen


Let me know!

Warmly, rd
