A streak of mud up the boy's back... fenderless bike.
985: Sprayed.
[Although I have recently seen this I also recall experiencing it as a young lad. It was a trend for awhile back then to have bicycles without fenders. That was very cool...until you had to ride it somewhere in the rain. But, of course, fashion over function held sway.]
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.
