line cast across the miles- a nibble of interest and i was hooked though powerless over your expertise i struggled for a time trying to maintain my freedom yet the further i moved from side to side the closer i came to you slowly...certainly you reeled me in all the while earning my trust- allowing me to become comfortable in your care finally... i came within reach and you grasped me gently yet firmly in your hands- you held on tight and i was safe in your secure embrace everyone was happy there were cheers and congratulations and you were so proud to call me your own it was no secret- you shouted it loudly for all to hear the dance floor was ours and soon i grew accustomed to you- content to be your prize and then... as the music stopped and the people watched you gently removed the hook and threw me back -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his |

Awesome ending. Just such a powerful write. I wonder why hasn't anyone replied to such a beautiful poem. Ronil (Inspiration for my poems is all around me for my muse is my reality.) |

Fun read! I smelled something fishy about where this was going, right from the start. But "catch and release"? Now that's taking the idea a little to far! pl And then my heart with pleasure fills, |

Hey! I almost missed this! It's great to see your name here again! Very nice re-entry here. It's not a bad thing to be the one that got away, you know? To love another person is to see the face of God. |

Boy did you hook me. My mind was really going strong. First worried then thrilled it was working out for you. Then laughing as removed the hook and threw me back" |
