Tonka Poem

Hi,

As I walked across the Fall Creek footbridge the other day on my way to work, I saw something that conjured this poem. I wanted it to be a haiku, but I had too many syllables. Thanks to Joe, my favorite poet, who said that it could be a tonka (5-7-5-7-5):

EMPTY NEST

With Plathian oven mitts
She lowered the fishing line
into the abyss
With love notes for the missing
attached to the hook
