Gone Fishing The sky was the color of loving eyes, water sparked with light, like laughter reflected in the misty green, soft and gently swaying. I sat down in the damp earth waiting, my pole in hand a pretense. A honey bee on yellow flower of mustard green hovered close, the breeze caught some lake froth and slapped it next the dry and broken stems and like percussion softly kept the time of twirl of earth. A duck of vibrant green flapped its wings against the glass of calm to ripple me. As the color left the cliffs and eased behind the rim of hill, one lone frog clicked forth a verse, then down the ridge more filled the air of slowly ebbing day with song. Dove’s soft call fell around, water listening quiet gave the silver slither fisher's dream right to pass, giving me instead this serenade. __________ Hi all...going fishing..be back around the 26th. In the dew of little things, |

Martie, beautiful poem. Hope the fishing goes well.  "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

Marite have a good time......this poem is so special as all of yours are! I could get absorbed in the images as usual! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

Martie~ Iffen you're as good a fishergal as you are a poet - those fishes better head for deeper water ! Well, I know you've got a good hush puppy recipe to cook up with your catch !  'A honey bee on yellow flower of mustard green hovered close, the breeze caught some lake froth and slapped it next the dry and broken stems and like percussion softly kept the time of twirl of earth.' Not leaving the beauty of your thoughts to escape ... THIS IS MARVELOUS ! ! ! Love ya', gal. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
