ã??fishingã?

My passion is salmon fishing There is something magical about the morning hours by the river Light reflections in the water, slowly changing tones of blurry clouds The value of silence - the experience of pristine nature An emotional and poetic nature contact gives new energy A mental surplus to meet today's challenges The most important thing is not the biggest fish 08.05.2019 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Free Verse or Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper photo # 3 1st place in the contest

Good Job! I often think that fisherman are not there for the fish. They need to get away from our artificial lives and reconnect with nature. What better way than from a boat or favorite rock to just sit an ponder. Then maybe, when the deep breaths and pondering is all done then... LUNCH!

I love fishing. Did a lot more when I was young. It was always better in the morning but to be on the lake at sunset was a magical thing. Great poem. Have a good day.

Wonderful, Anna-Lise. You have captured the moment perfectly. I know, I've been there. It doesn't even matter if you catch a fish or not, there is so much more to fishing than just reeling in a trophy. (but is fun) lol Great write and best wishes for a win in the contest. Hugs // your friend ~Charlie :)
