A Peaceful Day To Fish

If God exists and grants each man a wish
then mine is this: a peaceful day to fish
with breeze enough to help maintain my cool
while I explore a muddy swimming pool
that would begin along a nameless road,
by careful step, so not to spill the load
that straps my shoulders in a satchel patch
containing vengeful bait – a special batch
to lure exotic trout the rainbow skipped
whose swollen lips still hook the devil slipped.

Yes, such wonderful wish indeed! Hmm, I think while you fish- I shall linger in the soft touch of an open field, and allow myself the chance of getting lost in a poetic moment. :) Brandy
