Spring Fishing

I haven't been fishing much this spring compared to other years. Its been hard because Mike and I work opposite shifts. We were finally able to get out tonight and do some Walleye fishing with Mike's brother. They caught a few small ones while I chased Layla around and kept her from falling into the water. Overall it was nice just to beoutside so I wrote a Haiku. Do you like it?

Asparagus Season

I love asparagus. Don't you? I love it so much that I wrote a haiku.
Asparagus,
The tasty goodness
of your green simplicity
makes my belly sing.
Only another month until it's asparagus season here in Wisconsin.  I'm excited to go on long walks with Layla to forage for wild asparagus. Since we don't have a garden of our own, We'll probably end up robbing my mother's garden for a few of her large Martha Washingtons too.
I like asparagus best when it's kept simple. It's long stalks sauteed in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt. It's super easy to make when I feel like making a lazy dinner. How about you? How do you like your asparagus?  Does it inspire you to write poetry too?  Or do you hate it and write  other vegetable poetry instead? Either way, tell me. I'd love to hear about it.
