Crane stands in downpour poke poke poke fishing for crab as sun burns through clouds.

Last line is a bit of a disappointment. I know; it's a haiku. Nevertheless, nevertheless...

Is it a disappointment because the title is a bit of a giveaway maybe?

Ah, the title...suddenly I see it in a different light. I'll upgrade the vote

Not necessarily...I was originally thinking having the clouds dissipating would be better. Then I chickened out. Endings. My Achilles' heel.

I don't think haiku should have something to give away. The universe is not to be tricked. Then again, I don't have a real taste for haiku. They're a bit like sushi to me - I'll aways look around for more.

I always wondered how to get seven beats in the second line. Now I know.
