Jan Allison Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Gone Fishing - Tableau

An ardent angler
silhouetted by
la luna’s pale glow,
waits in silence
hoping that a trout
will nibble his bait

Victor Buhagiar March 16, 2021 at 11:18 PM Loved your tableau. Night fishing can be fun. In April when the wind gets low and warmth abounds, you'll see a lot of them. Jan Allison March 18, 2021 at 2:08 PM pure fiction for me i have never fished but I got the image in my head when i was out walking yesterday:-) hugs jan xx

Susan Ashley March 16, 2021 at 4:38 PM Ah, you capture this moment with exquisite poetic precision, Jan.
