Three Fish

Went on a fishing boat Caught three fish Bested my friends who caught nothing The day passed in a kind of haze Didn't even drink a beer! but was happy with my 2 flounders and one striped bass My fish were tossed back into the water So they could go on with their aquatic lives Answer the call of the ocean! For in it lies the secret to life!

A kind of reincarnation? Maybe a trinity allusion? Good thought provoking stuff. Love, daver

Yes the ocean gives us so much and still we foul it, we have to be one of the only animals that fouls it's own nest? ANYWAY!!! so glad you enjoyed your day!Thanks so much for reading and commenting on my verse. Light & Love

It truly does. I have always loved the ocean, the sounds, the smells, the warmth of sol's rays upon my skin. Beautifully done!

Matthew, that was a nice thing to do, tossing them back. I don't understand fishing! Anyways, it's nice seeing you on the new page list. I have not been on as much.. However, today, I found myself writing a poem. Hope to see you around my pages....Linda
