birdsong chorus
greets the rising crimson sun
joined by cock's crow
grey clouds line the horizon
a good day for fishing

FISHING POEMS


    
         Poems swim in my sea
  They are light fish, I seek them nimbly...
      I hardly manage to catch them!

4 am
fishing hole magic
I am with my daddy
catfish, bass and bluegills are calling our names
we are the only ones alive

sporting a big proud grin.
Cast and caught a real winner,
he's taking it home for dinner.

Senryu Whopper

hands this far apart
                             the fisherman   tells a tale
                             of a missed putt

Pulpo

All the dawns of all the morns
Swing back the seaweed’s draft,
Brings to me the octopus, hid deep 
From spear’s cruel laugh.

If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day.
                       If you teach a man to fish his wife will soon leave him.

Fishing

We fish all day by a lake
 
Smooth and calm as we wait

A nice warm fire to keep us awake 

For a great big fish we await.

Cool foggy morning
in the watery stillness
a fishing boat glides
disappears in the thickness 
its holds bare for no fish swim

baiting fishing hook
sitting on the bank of lake
trees providing shade 
early morning sun peeking

crackeling in the sunlight
small bird gets the point

lake fully frozen

Nature

Outside 
        wild, quiet, breezy
Trees
     paths, fishing, walking
Noisy
       birds
             colorful always
Inviting.

Poetry and Grass

fishing port breathes
when there are fish

fish breathes
when water is

solitary

in the poetry
the world breathes
with Grass.

Lady cat kicks off fishless day in the face
Miserable Mr. Cat approaches to the roof cornice

Crafty ole brown trout
lurks behind that sunken log.
My fly snags a branch.

sun scattered in stream
village children play on bank
