The prompt for Carpe Diem #1658 Tan Renga – Wintry Gusts is to write a two-line response to a haiku by Aktagawa Ryunosuke, a.k.a. Gaki (Hungry Ghost) (in blue),
to create a tanka
Wintry gusts:
on the sardine still lingers
the ocean’s color.
Gaki
open nets spreading silver
wide across the sea-tossed deck

I like how you’ve zoomed in from the wintry gusts and the ocean to the action of fishermen on a boat, Ken.:
