Fishermen line the shore, rods extended over the waters in hope of torturing an innocent fish. But all is not always fun as lines get snagged in deadheads and debris deep below the murky flow. Anger grows and tackle dwindles as fish refuse to take the bait and the beauty that is nature’s is lost in Neanderthal thought. One wiz says to me: You’re a poet? Well stick around and watch: you’ll find lots of “one liners” lining up along this bar. String ‘em all together and no problem writing poetry on this God-forsaken sand bank. And so here goes, for a start: I saw a man fly fishing in the morning his long slim rod bending low. Wondering how he’d done, I casually peeked into his open bag: alas, no luck was he having, for all he’d caught was fish! I suggested a window in the sun and a fly swatter for a weapon but all I got was a dirty look: I guess he was going by the book. |

Smiling at this...fishing is its own religion, isn't it? Sweet thoughts here. TD |

Your title was very clever as was the poem. Fishing is by far my all-time favorite sport. I love letting them loose once I catch them, and swore once I heard a prayer from a freed fish.  |
