Matthew Anish Poet Burlesque

Three Fish

Went on a fishing boat
   Caught three fish 
Bested my friends who 
caught nothing 
   The day passed in a
kind of haze 
   Didn't even drink a beer! 
but was happy with my 2 flounders and one striped bass
          My fish were tossed back into the water 
   So they could go on 
with their aquatic lives 
   Answer the call of the ocean! For in it lies the secret to life!

Daver Austin September 1, 2014 at 12:27 PM A kind of reincarnation? Maybe a trinity allusion? Good thought provoking stuff. Love, daver

Debbie Guzzi August 30, 2014 at 12:24 PM Yes the ocean gives us so much and still we foul it, we have to be one of the only animals that fouls it's own nest? ANYWAY!!! so glad you enjoyed your day!Thanks so much for reading and commenting on my verse. Light & Love

Poet Destroyer A August 26, 2014 at 6:34 PM Matthew, that was a nice thing to do, tossing them back. I don't understand fishing! Anyways, it's nice seeing you on the new page list. I have not been on as much.. However, today, I found myself writing a poem. Hope to see you around my pages....Linda
