Listen to poem:

Tight lines taut

A poet who fishes, wishes for tight lines
with fish hooked, caught and ready to play.
The poet wishes for taut-line inspiration
while whiling away the hours of solitude
in the quiet peaceful wilderness
waiting for a nibble or bite.

For there can be no better place to go
and no time better spent,
by a poet who fishes,
than to enjoy the wait a while,
to catch fish and words,
with lines tight and taut.
