A short time ago we were in Italy and watched this old man fishing with just a line hook and bread it was peaceful watching him, and he did catch his dinner.

I am not a pro on any form of poetry but...I know when I read a poem if I have enjoyed it. Now I have read yours and I have indeed enjoyed it Richard. I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you find much inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors. Love, Carol

I seen him while we were in Italy, he appeared to be quite content, sometimes wasting time can be relaxing. So in the end is it a waste of time?
