Opportunities
You must grasp them while you can, even if they aren't exactly what you're looking for.
Look at my face, describe what you see.
It's clear to see, the agony.
Of waiting for the right time
that never came at all,
opportunities
wasted because
I thought they
weren't good
enough.

Resist unholy Antidisestablishment- arianism XXXXXX For John and Paul's Three-Word Haiku/Senryu Unofficial Challenge Before anyone can issue a challenge to the form of my haiku, let me set forth my defense that NOWHERE in the rules do the worthy judges state that each line must consist ofa word. And I quote: "Must be a haiku/senryu consisting of just three words, following the usual syllable demands of 5-7-5."

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.
