Notes About The Poem

- Not the Biggest Fish -

My passion is salmon fishing
There is something magical about the morning hours by the river
Light reflections in the water,
slowly changing tones of blurry clouds
The value of silence - the experience of pristine nature

An emotional and poetic nature contact gives new energy
A mental surplus to meet today's challenges
The most important thing is not the biggest fish

Edlynn Nau May 9, 2019 at 12:31 PM Good Job! I often think that fisherman are not there for the fish. They need to get away from our artificial lives and reconnect with nature. What better way than from a boat or favorite rock to just sit an ponder. Then maybe, when the deep breaths and pondering is all done then... LUNCH! Anne-Lise Andresen May 9, 2019 at 12:56 PM - Yes, it's about enjoying life Edlynn ... imagine the wonderful smell of freshly cooked coffee on a fire :) ... yes then, we are talking about LUNCH :) - Many thanks for visiting and lovely comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
