Writers fish for the right words,
just like fishermen fish for,..um,
whatever those aquatic creatures with fins and gills are called.

Premium Member Fishermen

      streams of words
     unending, ceaseless 
           attack us

          fishermen
         wait silently
           for a bite

Yarmouth

On fry days the wife goes for chips
With fishermen from deep-sea ships
With salty lips
They come to grips
With greasy Sunday comic strips . . . .

Fishermen

The brine and rot of a fishing ship Is smelt a hundred yards from shore The scurvy laughs of the mates aboard A thousand yards or more.

Fool's Gold

A bigger fish,
a smaller pond

A greater truth
alludes

The water shallow,
banks now void

Of fishermen
bemused

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)

Water Hyacinth

Dictatorship is water hyacinth
once it infests water
it shocks aquatic life
limits fishermen
terrorizes fish at home
difficult to eradicate
and benefits a few

Harmattan

1
Autumn, harmattan
—forest everywhere 
births green or rust hue

2
Harmattan
—my lips are eager
to map the season

Fog-ensnared ocean:
fishermen gasp
in the net of harmattan

Premium Member Judgment Lightly Ajar

Babies are droolers
Teachers are schoolers
Pitchers are foolers
Lawyers are duelers
Fishermen are spoolers
Faceters are jewelers
Needlers are crewelers
Kids are stoolers
Men are toolers
Women are rulers

Firefly Squid -Haiku-

Light up the ocean
from depths far away from light
fishermen catch them.

From the depths, the ocean lights up like a Christmas tree. The Japanese fishermen catch them in their nets.

With Pastels In Hand

With pastels in hand,
I paint the life of the sea...
in sunny Capri.


Giant Cyclops settled here,
and fishermen still fear them...
legends become real.


Mermaids sing with lyre,
luring them in your cold deep...
as images appear.

Premium Member The Innocents

Fury of the sea
Panic of the boat 
Cry of the fishermen
Catastrophic
Is it a revenge of the fish 
For the pollution of the sea
Innocent were the fishermen
Who were wrapped
In the waves
And disappeared from the sea
Defendless

Rutland Water

The water, sandy shore, lush hills, swaying trees, the smart lakeside houses and 

boated fishermen in the breeze from the Spit of the largest reservoir in England's 

smallest county completed our beautiful Spring day in the Midlands.

Lost In the Wilderness...

the woods 
were made for the branching dreams 
of hunters...
the brooks 
for the trickling songs 
of fishermen... 
the mountains 
for the highest visions 
of climbers...
and the sea 
for the whispering secrets 
of sailors...

Premium Member floating down the Yangtze

floating down the Yangtze
many new sights I do see
happy fishermen wave to me
bass jump out of this China sea

I hum and sing we be de we
dum diddle dum diddle dee dee dee
I love the feeling of being free
as I glide my way down the Yangtze

Small Men

Mass this planet massive these Oceans 
Big waves to hug one by one so serious  

Sharks huge in chase fish in fear various 
Ships on backs of Seas sailing spacious 

These fishermen small how come giants?
To boast with wide Oceans for being silent

Santee Lakes

Birds chirp within the vast assortment of trees
The lake shivers with each cool breeze
Butterflies are fluttering past
Fishing poles are decorating the Kelly Green grass
The fishermen dance with gleam 
As they fling Blue Gill Catfish and Bass from the sea

Premium Member Children of the Lantern

We fished close to where he supposedly drowned.
Tossing lures into the black heart of the bay.
Trying to fool coho and Chinook, but only attracting a soul.

The sun retreated as old fishermen must do.
Orange lanterns glowing, rising to the chalk heart of dusk.

The Watchers

domesticated
thirty-something female
watches deep sea fishermen
battle with her demons

testosterone depleted husband
watches lions mating
in the Serengeti

orange fingers
stray to bite sized
edibles

child plays on a mat
with imaginary cat

a television replays
its family circle

Bromham Fields

autumn rainbows stripe
vegetable september
across bromham fields;
roundway island, hazed in mist
on a marrow orange sea

wiltshire sunbeams fall
gold on the cockle pickers
green fields, fishermen;
down fruit littered ditches glint
glitter strewn rivers of light

Cape Cod

From a distance a lighthouse horn blows
The mist settles in, fishermen do not go 
A beacon light gleams and attracts 
Sights and sounds, from a warning tract.
 
From a distance, harbor lights in a row
Tides smooth over, ripples are low
Seagulls landing, shells lie about
This must be Cape Cod no doubt

Glowing Tower

This glowing nightscraper ‘s iridescence
Brings older fishermen persevering
Through misted oceanfront’s  territory
With  lighthouse  exploring disturbances.

Tall tower---devoted  custodian,
Beams protect travelers’ fascination
While glitter envelops humankind
In faithful , reverent  dedication.
