Catching Poems

Go Fish The Big One

Remember as a child playing cards,
Go Fish?
A child's life and fishing go together,
dreaming about catching the big one.
How big is the big one?
At what age will they catch it?
Will it be from land or from a boat?
Yes a child will dream about the big one,
the big one being on the end of their fishing line.

Catching Constellations Like Fireflies

If I could 
catch the stars 
in a mason jar would 
it be enough to 
prove myself? 

I 
don't 
want 
to 
be 
here 
anymore. 

I want to be up in space 
where all of the fireflies reside. 

They
don't 
care
if 
I'm 
not 
good 
enough.

Catching Flowers

I caught a flower
Just below my window sill,
Just before your love went stale.

I Dreamt I Was Catching Fish Last Night

I dreamt I was catching fish last night.
The sea was flat as my once white sheets,
Stars hung like lanterns,
cold and watching.

I cast once.
The line sang.
The pull came sure.
It bent the rod like a prayer.

The fish didn’t fight.
It came easy.
Too easy.
It stared with human eyes.

I cleaned it on the shore.
Its blood was warm.
It smelled like iron

Catching Zees

Zapped our eyes
ears     centers
not on a beam
                        unless
on a ledge
teeter-totter
                  

Jimmy Catching Up

My sister and I used to skip and sing on the way to school
We loved laughing and chatting about Jimmy, the fool
Jimmy had a crush on both of us and tried to keep up
One time he got in trouble for bringing his pup

He was always getting into trouble but had a heart of gold.
I feel

Catching Your Dream

Your wish come true
If you come back
And truly love.

It's worth the wait
If you believe
That love can wait.

Hope not in vain
If you pursue
And not give up.

Eyes on the road
Keep wheel on hand
Pursue your dream.

Catching My Heart

I’ve lost my heart among the woods,
Where now it flutters in the drafts
And moves about close secrets kept
Within the floras’ whispered breath.

I know because there glimpses break
Between the bark-skinned living things,
Where there it flows from one to next
In jubilant discovery.

I feel it yet, though standing yon,
Of how the boughs absorb the sun
Among the shafted beams

Eagle Catching Fish

An eagle feasting
On the surface of water
Reflect abundance.

catching my breath

breathing became easy 
I saw in me the calm steady moments that caused
beautiful dreams to come alive 
captivated by clever banter, falling deeper in lover with the wonder of curiosity
breathing became easy
like the days passing calm, and steady like the air that filled the light rooms  I passed through

Anna Banana

My cat Anna
She likes to slide
Anna Banana 
Coming in wide

Riding on the slimy peel
Paws stained bright yellow
Chasing after her next meal 
Furry white mouse fellow 

Stopping short, missing the turn
Sliding past the bait 
Doesn't learn, feeling the burn 
Tasty treat will have to wait

Mouse scurries out the gate 
Poor cat always late 

Catching Fish By Hand

Oh, what a man!
It's really fun
Fish caught by hand.

My Lord Jesus, You mean Everything to me from Sea to Shining

O My beloved Lord Jesus,
You mean everything to me
From sea to shining sea,
To my beloved homeland,
that waves the Star spangled
Banner, our American flag,
Sometimes it's called 'Old Glory!'

And My Lord, I pray it's already
Not too late, to redeem the United
States, especially my very own state.
'Washington my home

Whenever I (did) roam'
The beloved land of the tall and

Catching Feelings

I never understood why people said they “caught feelings”.
That didn’t make any sense. How can you catch feelings?
You can catch a cold or the flu, but feelings? It’s not a sickness.
But then I caught feelings, and it all made sense.
Feelings are a sickness.
They mess with your head, making you unable to think straight.
They make you

Is her self confidence catching

Carnival and playmate in orange
Preening , twirling, whirling swirling,
Flashing, crashing, but never gnashing
Is she a clown or a comic?
Does she know all of her strengths?
Is her fabulous self-confidence catching?
I decide to stand closer, in case it is.
