The prompt recently at CDHK was "abandoned," which is what I have almost done with CDHK recently. Been enjoying other parts of my life. But I'm back, at least now and then!

Anyway here's my attempt at a haiku on the theme. I guess that abandoned is an autumn kigo (season word).

stillness of the pond
beside the empty boardwalk
abandoned bobber

My boys and I have been enjoying some shore fishing this summer. In the US, a "bobber" is the usual word for the float you put on a fishing line so you can see where the hook you've cast out is hanging down.
