The Fisherman Casting the line over glass like waters Float coming to rest on the unseen bond of air The lure of the insect so irresistible we watch with a fisherman's stare, Hour upon hour sitting and staring into space Umbrella positioned strategically over head The rain mercilessly poring onto the water Soaks the fisherman he wonders why he is not in bed, The line moves; slowly jerking Then more as the fish takes a bite The fisherman takes a strong hold He is ready for the fight, The spool whizzes round and round Faster And faster as it spins and takes it's toll The fisherman holds; and pulls in the line As the fish really takes control, At last the fisherman lands him A ten pound-er really, "for sure" His buddies in the pub do believe him As his tiddler flounders on the shore, Annie, 19-8-2008 |

Yo dear Annie, This is a nice poem. What is a "tiddler"? I'm a city person, I don't know such things. Love Bobby |

Thanks Bobby A tiddler is a very small fish Some call them sticklebacks, as they have a ridge of spikes on there backs.. |
