Fisherman


The fish like silver wishes flash
behind the rock,
a slither of a dance.
More then this dream
a fisherman’s chance
to contemplate the day.

Beyond the place of pool's cold
this poet told
of a fisherman's strong and steady hold
and what she thought to spin of gold
was a fiber pure and unafraid
made from peace and love.

So from her chair she cast
with pole and filament naught
a line of words with nimble fingers fast
across a keyboard the letters sought
to find connection in this pool vast

the fisherman's heart was caught.

Martie...I love fishing...and this seems to
be a very favorable way of fishing...Surely
you will catch the prize of the day with your
poetic pole and hook...

You captured the heart alright, as only you can but this brought to mind a pretty cute fisher"woman" I have a picture of.
