I Fish I cast my fate upon the sea My weight a theme my hook a dream The line lets out the life of me That is the play that holds the scheme. Each day I pay the pain and toll For grime has set into the reel This Eden of my very soul As time has robbed my hands of feel I sit each dawn in morn and scorn At times I say I’ll take no more My hands and face are weather worn My being tired to the core Although I try my best to fish My mind is often set adrift To fall into a phantoms wish To give my weakened spirits lift For I am bait upon the sea And death has fate the hook for me |

Well, Janet Marie, said such nice words ... I want to reach out and hug you. This is a fantastic write, but it hurts! I don't think you have weakened spirits at all, dear Seymour! It's just some moments ... they pass. Love and hugs. Margherita |

JM, Well maybe you are a mermaid, want to go for a swim? You can hold on to Randy and he'll take you for a jet ride. LOL Margherita I know they pass, thank you sweet. Nancy, Think I could use some tea today. Martie I'll take all the kissing and hugging I can get. |

Seymour Not quite what I expected, thought it might be a poem about the one that got away..instead I got a much deeper poem. Not that I am disapointed, it is a beautiful poem and I am glad that I read it..nice work, as always. _______ice ><> |
