Royal Wulff

By Jock Jacober

I flutter lightly above the sparkling brook :: wings of hackle brown :: laid upon a shining hook ::

A tail of moose hair :: tawny straight filament secured :: my body :: calf body white hair::  I greet the water’s surface :: buoyed by peacock herl :: upon the hook entwined with floss :: gently from the mews removed :: I become the hunter :: camouflaged a masquerading assassin cast :: to

 unsuspecting trout
