Some Fishing I feel I fish for non-exist Phantoms of a mind in mist Daydreams of a hearts impale Sails of symbols that prevail In horizons edgeless wile Factoring an enzymes style Searching through the past of seem The hook is baited with a dream The line is slack the fish are weary The night is dark and time is dreary I lean against the rail in search Waiting for a simple lurch The fishing is much poorer now Perhaps it is my age somehow Or perhaps I’ve lost the power Not exactly new this flower Yet where there’s life there is hope I think I felt a subtle grope |

Forget the worms...I'm coming with grandma's infamous "Stinkbait and Wheatie balls". If they dont bite on that..they aint got teeth. LOL I'll even bait your hook. Nature poets can't walk across the backyard without tripping over an epiphany. |

one thing about fishing,,,,,it brings young and older together in thought,,,,as a child you pity the fish, and when we you get older you feel a sympathy,,,in between, its every man (fish) for himself,,,,alot like life,,, Michelle I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike |

I've never been one for fishing Sy.. until the last couple of years when a good friend taught me how to bass fish...and now I love it! Wonderful to awaken to your words! ~Smiles, Hugs and Tea, Nancy~ In the midst of winter.. |

Seymour, I haven't been fishing since I was a child, and as I recall, it was my lack of patience that kept me from enjoying the sport. Unfortunately, I am the same as I ever was...settling for frozen fish sticks. A wonderful write. Patricia |

Seymour, somehow I don't think you would have any trouble doing whatever you desire to do....fishing included. It is fun to fish, isn't it? Hugs Ethel |
