Monofilamania
It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.
It sharks,
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches
in and out:
casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

With Breakfast On Their Whiskers
snuggled up to the gentle fire
under the moon and stars
he rests his head
and nestles into
a long lingering
swig of whiskey
that drifts his mind
on the night breeze
like the billowy puff
slowly eclipsing
the moon
a sparkling stream...

BBroken in half
the battered moon
hung dejected in the gloom
in the gloom of Prodigal Bay

the Golden Boy,the only one

Oh, Don'T Blame Me
Oh, Don't Blame Me!
Oh, don't blame me, at times (if I miss better rhymes,)
When my thoughts are like Jell-O that doesn't congeal,
Must we fault 'rush to judgments,' when they're not ideal?
If my poetry fails you,...

Loon Song
Motor is nudged to life in an arcing motion, arm pulling
cord. Vein-furrowed hands grasp the fishing pole,
slinging bait and tackle beneath one arm. Another
arcing motion, arm casting pole. Bobber spins
a helicopter...

The Prize
The Prize
The bobber floats, but when it dips, my heart skips for hooked lips. The line tightens, the tug is strong, I reel in. The fight is on. It's a tug of war, an...

Sitting on the old black oak, where we used to fish together,

Sittin' by a stream

Livin' out a dream
The gentle, lazing waters
Slowly driftin' by

And I can only sigh
I reel it in and cast again

Anglers Lament
God hath provoked man with many challenges about this globe.
One of them requires the patience of a long-suffering Job!
Ensconced with fishing pole in hand on a grassy bank,
Waiting interminably for those wily fishes to yank!

As we awake another day
Grab our poles and head to the lake

My grandpa puts on his lucky hat

An Old Man Fishing
I watched the old man mosey to his favorite fishing spot.
Ahead of him his faithful dog capered at a lively trot.
No fancy fishing lures for him, just a simple bamboo pole,
And a can of worms...

Gone Fishing
On the banks of a river, with a rod in my hand.
With the sun on my face, whilst i'm feeling suntanned.
I sit by the river and let my worries fade.
With dreams of a big one,...

I went fishing by myself today
It is not something I normally do

Watching the light reflect off the blue
Yes I like the fishing part

Once More
I contemplate the bobber on the water.
It is as still as a friend’s prayer at meeting.
Connected to this moment by monofilament
I sit as if I were asleep.
A gust of north wind roils the surface
into ridges....

The Old Pond
An old pond full of plops
with jumping fish and Bobber drops
From my pole, As I cast a line
I sit to watch the clouds blow by
A snapping turtle rises up
His leathery head, like a log

Quaker Lake, Ny
Lightening bugs flash,
like the worn celluloid images of old movies,
I sit beneath a great Greta Garbo moon.
I am the heroine of this short.
The dew point drops,
Mists rise.
Crickets chirp.
Muskwats buzz.
Loons ululate and wail.
My dialogue,
The click...

School Is In
Walking to the end,
of this old wooden dock.
The tranquility of the pond,
is disturbed,
with a wizz and a plop
Ripples ,run from this,
bright orange bobber.
To town has come,
the foolish fish, robber.
Beneath the surface,
Old Tom sees,
a flash...

Fishin, Wishin
Go-in down by the crick.
To do a little fish-in.
A little bit of think-in.
And a whole lotta wish-in.
Bait my hook.
Cast it out.
Now the wait-in time is here.
Time`s just right for open-in a beer.
Sit-tin here, waiting,wondering...

The Young Fisherman
His long cane pole limber and perfect,
Patiently waiting, his eye on the bobber
For his prey, he has the utmost respect,
The big fish almost becoming his cobber.
He’d seen it swim among the rocks alone
Unmindful of its...
