Just Fishing

Way off the coast of Maine he is fishing
while soldiers he sent to war are dying;
and out in the desert blood is flowing
as he is busily catching some marlin.

Octopus hide in your sea garden Two tentacles bit by a marlin Afraid to reach out though never a doubt New limbs sprout, no better a bargain!

Wild Kingdom

every Sunday night
Marlin and Jim
traveling throughout the world

catching cats
lassoing llamas
herding hyenas

interspersed with insurance commercials
Mutual of Omaha protecting the wild and you

My favorite:
Snagging snakes
I rooted for the snake!!!

Dreams

A man did dream
And harpooned a Marlin
And brought with him,
But a monstrous fin.

A dame did dream
Of marrying a rich prince;
She cracked her urn
And broke her dream.

A man did dream
Of nabbing an assassin
But found in him
The greatest sin.

“Do dream, do dream,”
Ear drums resound,
But dreams – are dreams,
They just abound.

Bob Dylan

Robert Allen Zimmerman a gifted poetical man
Known as Bob Dylan with an acoustic guitar in his hand 
Married Shirley Marlin Noznisky aka Sarah Lownds
Who divorced in nineteen seventy seven on disintegration grounds

Sarah Sarah don’t ever leave me, don’t ever go 
Blood on the tracks and tracks in the snow
Sad eyed couple of the Lowlands
Bob Dylan and Sarah Lownds

Hemingway

Virility of a writer,
an adventure...
you would find,
out in the bush!

For the big hunt
to unwind...
your clock,
in time.

Only to come undone,
and for victory
you had won.

All in full flower...
for a while,
with one big smile!

Out in the deep sea
with the marlin,
or just a bull ring...
you would find.

Anything for a fight!
A true Bohemian...
in the night.

And in your life,
you found much strife.
Just to know you 
for your writing...

at it's best!
