fishing for the moon
on the ripples of the lake
a gaggle of geese
fishing for the moon
pine needles float to the shore
frosted with silver
on the ripples of the lake
splintered into stars
a new galaxy
a gaggle of geese
diving for fragments of light
shivering feathers

My response to Carpe Diem #1545 The Water Fowl (crossroads)
Today our challenge is a ‘crossroads’ challenge, in which we create ‘fusion’ haiku from three given autumn haiku, from which we then create troika:
the water-fowl
pecks and shivers
the moon on the waves

scooping up the moon
in the wash basin,
and spilling it
© Ryuho
I kept hanging the moon
on the pine tree, and taking it off,
gazing at it the while

Fishing and diving — seems only natural, doesn’t it?
Your ripples/stars was exactly the thought I had.
