It’s hard to imagine a more body- and mind-numbing job than commercial fishing in any era. Dirty, joyless, and dangerous work.
Linking to Sensational Haiku Wednesday prompt 160 “boredom”
fishermen stumble
endlessly haul slimy nets -
listless fish ripple

is that another definition of boredom?
ReplyDeletelove that old picture and your lovely haiku!
The US NOAA site has loads of beautiful public domain pictures and photos. Great site for bloggers looking for images.
Deletepic looks like it was taken on my dad's fishing dragger....He claimed he was never bored at sea....
ReplyDeleteSailors are a tough breed all right!
DeleteI wonder if boredom is in the eye of the beholder...
ReplyDeleteWhat About Boredom?
Now that you mention it, there might be intellectual interest in scales and fish heads running in the scuppers.
Deleteany job has its 'repetitive' peaces as does life ` I try to see the 'sacred in the ordinary' ~ good haiku dealing with feelings ~ thanks, ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteThat is the nature of work, but fishing is so much sitting and waiting...
ReplyDeleteSorry about the captcha code. I didn't realize I had one! Thanks for letting me know. I'm technologically challenged, but I'm going to try to remove it. Thanks for overcoming the challenge!
Great, hope it helps you get more comments and discussions going! Thanks for visiting my blog :)
DeleteThanks for double checking it for me! :)
DeleteI like that you had a different take on the prompt word. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI loved watching deadliest catch - and loved going out in our boating fishing. But I guess it could be boring if you weren't cut out for the sea and fishing.
ReplyDeleteIndeed , what you say is so true.
ReplyDeleteI always say a prayer whenever I cook fish dishes.
Although I am more a vegetarian now.
What a wonderful tribute, lovely Haiku , thank you.
