Have you ever fished for Noodles?

Intrusive thoughts won again.

Trickling down the bamboo pipe,
Endorsing the stench of natural life,
Soumen noodles with skin pristine,
In bundles, follow the water so clean.

Author's Note

Another poem about Nagashi Sōmen... As it is destined to be.

I did not know Nagashi Sōmen was a thing. I had to google it, and was like "that actually sounds like a lot of fun; wonder what it tastes like?...." This little poem gives me the energy of a kid, WAY too excited with chopsticks in hand, waiting for the noodles to flow down stream. This just sounds like a lot of fun, and perhaps there are fun memories tied with these experiences. This was a fun read, Leon :) And now I kinda wanna go fishing for noodles!

Nagashi Sōmen is perhaps one of my spirit food (like spirit animals but instead food), since it has been on my mind on the most random of occasions and has inspired some of my writes. Though what I say next might be memeable but I wholly believe in the phisolophical nature of Nagashi Sōmen and the fleeting tendency of the noodles - signifying the need for humans to take chances to reap rewards in life - to be very admirable. Thank you for coming by, author Kane Hagwood, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really liked that analogy, Leon. And if I had a spirit food, it would be pizza, without question..... great, now I'm getting hungry....
