Notes About The Poem

Feeding Time


Sun sets, sky glows cerise.
Throw the nets, catch showpiece.
     Fish abound, birds take off
     All fly round, it's payoff
Birds last meal, night is nigh
Strange feel, gratified high.

Victor, you're a very talented poet who never ceases to amaze. You gave us great Layers of pictures, especially the cerise sky, which was beautifully described. You've produced an amazing sight out of this picture—deepest hopes for a win.
