Never before have I floundered more…or was that flat? Betwixt the dissertations or demands of this or that Too fast I guess, too fleet like lumens in the river wells Yet if a flounder to be had, what better dunk than in your swells? You think me so contagious as to arm yourself a full sleeve length? A salmon in the undertow, how would you know about such strength? True blue and yet you disbelieve…the carp to scoff its stead Perhaps afraid to be deceived might cap the nights mislead Yet dawn arrives to find me perched upon the thought anticipating Light floats the surf like chum in pink what seems a smelt debating That all or nothing kind of style that leaves bereft the banks Yet you are hear to listen in on all these bobs, so thanks Now this is how I see it, sort of stern a port to pour A partnership of subtleties in ever, always, more The rudder and the jib to guide the worth of where to go Yet I believe the salmon should consult because they know As far as I can see somehow the path gets overgrown And leaves us to be lost upon this journey still unknown The more at home in water…me to dive and you to swim To trail the bass and figure out what really chiggers him The final and conclusion as I seem to find my cool The trip to fish the answer may require summer school No longer will I follow, flagging vehemence that runs a muck Just by your side and hand in hand, got hooked, and now I’m stuck Copyright Kkh 4/25/04 |

TD, It sounds as if you have a lot of knowledge in this area. I'll have to get my husband to read this, as he loves to fish. Enjoyed. Sadie |
