Euphoria

At sunrise, whispering winds start to die
Tranquility, lends itself to foment
Fragrance of wild lavender, drifts by
The loons circle a large effervescent

Diving for prey, I observe their splendor
I take aim and cast with all eloquence
Hopeful serendipity is in store
My vessel wafting, absolute silence

Dulcet hits, amounts to a tug of war
Reeling, I break into a lilting *bliss

The reader can see the birds circling and diving, Mitch. As a fisherman I enjoyed your topic and the *eloquent way in which you expressed the event. Great work! Love, Carolyn
