The Osprey calls across the water, scrawny necks jab from their precarious incubator expletives of hunger. The tree that sweeps the sky is a nursery of fluff gleaned from the hole in the cushion and the old broom's straw. In the gold and green morning the rooster's crow rudely reminds the sun to rise while down in the deep blue green mystery of the lake the line settles jerks, and waits for the silver dream that tugs at the heart of all fisherman. We sweep the glazed surface of the lake, play with the wake, walk on water, feel the grace of fish and seabird. At night silence is the ripples slop against the boat, a sudden splash and the moon's silver path of light as it crosses the observatory of the sky. Take me there again dream, to that place of sleeping bags, take me from my curtained room to pine needles and hippy tea, take me there tonight. |

Though not a fan of fishing, this poem certainly made me want to be on that boat! I love it.  |

Thanks you two--my mother and father-in-love own this place, no running water and you can only reach it by water, but the best outhouse in Trinity County. If you don't like to fish then you've never had trout for breakfast. |

I admire this piece of writing very much. Free verse and yet well-defined and structured with every word important and in its proper place. |
