Long Gone fishing Poems

Fate decreed sexting/texting while married abominable

Therefore karma caught up to me big time
and delivered yours truly sent to purgatory
(figurative speaking) by casting a spell,
whereby the government issued Safelink
Tracfone got permanently disabled
and all the data
(including contact...

Was it a cruel twist of fate?
Sneering, laughing chance?
Perhaps something I ate?
A bad bout of happenstance?

It wrenched and tore at my gut,
A sickening, sober, foreboding sign.
Wretched chance it was not,
This time was by insidious design.

The snow so deep… That it was over our heads… Was a melting by the hour!
Give it a day, or two at most… and with this heat… it would all be gone, forever!
But in the...

That day that way we met 
the nightingale sang while 
whooping cranes bowed 
their heads the sun danced 
between the blue skies as 
the clouds rushed by I 
remember that day that 
way you walked...

It was one of them nights with nothing to do
We sat round the log fire in the inn like you do
Telling ghost stories and massive white lies
Old Harry snuffed his pipe out, light shone in...

a walnut waltzing with a willow tree
A molecule is neither a destitute mop without a bucket house. Nor is it a seven acre field that is very cold due to having no grass. Even the...

Such a wonderful sunny day of a day,
walking along in my walkiest way.
Waving to birds as they sing in the tree,
each song so special, just for me.

I came upon a sparkling lake,
under a shade tree...

I wish my brother
The best of us in a damaged family
Hadn't died
He was my best friend through the years
He kept me level headed and laughing at life

I wish I hadn't gone fishing that day
And missed...

GONE FISHING

A few years ago, I went fishing,
With Larry & Don off the Jones Beach Pier,
We had no clue if the fish were biting,
But at least the day was sunny and clear.

We first stopped at...

To say the world is an odd place'
is to say it may or may not rain tomorrow
There is the dilemma,
for nothing about the world
between birth and death is understandable

As an example
A young man walked into...

I am giving up on poets for
a day – not poetry! just needing a break 
from Communal Escapism: I mean, it is
nice to write of meadows and bird songs – 
of the past, how things...

Gone fishing.

We decided to go fishing, 
Granddad Dad and I . 
We booked a Bed and Breakfast 
up in the Isle of Skye. 

We set off Friday morning 
with lots of fishing gear, 
and Granddad...

I knew a man who was raised by a farmer,
who had a very large family; and this man that
I knew was one of 8 boys and 6 girls. This family
farm was located on some of...

They launched at dawn, Jim and his mate,
both men unaware of their mutual fate.
The boat was small, the sea was calm,
and neither of them foresaw any harm.

This was something both had done,
at the rising of...

Despairing seafaring..can be

Lore of days of yore

Glories or gory

Bold stories told 

Foreshore folklore

Hemingway’s…Old 

Man and the Sea


Smiles..feeling chipper

Like a wee nipper

Reeling in a ripper

Serious delirious skipper

No not a wee kipper

More like stealing Flipper (ah remember...

Gone Fishing

I know of nothing that can happen badly,
When a man goes fishing with a wee laddie.
The poles they carry along with the bait,
Says, ‘Gone fishing early and staying late.’

When a man goes fishing with...

It snowed in Baghdad yesterday;
The Whales will have to find 
Somewhere else to go;
The Islands are SOLD OUT.

The traffic in the sky
Is going to get worse;
As the Earth floods again,
The Lost City of New Orleans...

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,...

Did Have In A Dream

Just woke up and this was in a
dream that I just had having
Oprah Winfrey in it.

Are always places where we should begin,
Or we want to repeat and start over again;
Son would...

This may sound a tad bit strange
But I can promise you it's true
It all took place in the fishing town
Of Pleasant Valley one sunny afternoon

All of the sudden fishing line started popping
Out of the lake...

The spirits stand before me to guide me on my way
To a place so peaceful that I would like to stay

I'll be on the wings of eagles soaring through the skies
While all my friends and...

They slowed the boat so they could hear,
if any other craft came near,
when suddenly out of the gloom,
appeared the harbinger of their doom.

A ship so huge they could not steer,
beyond the bow so high and...

My Dad was known by everyone
As a fisherman “first class”
No matter who he took with him
At catching fish, he kicked ass

Dad had a bad heart already
He’d suffered one heart attack
He said, if I have another

Give it a go, try something new
This tale told in simple verse, view
 Compare its rhythm, rhyme and flow 
Try something new…give it a go

Gone fishing, the sign did say
On that blustery summer’s day
We stood;...
