Still, Motionless, watch.................
Red beak darts in and darts out
Holding silver trout!!!...Read More

Mystical crystal ocean faerie arrived the first time wearing light blue.
Quite a sight against a giant wave, mimicking the ocean’s frothy hue.
Staring ahead, totally unafraid, standing on swirly finned trout three,
Observers understood immediately there was no other faerie like she.

Tossing...Read More

My auntie’s best friend Liselotte
Adores making sweet panna cotta
Auntie’s over the moon
Grabs an enormous spoon
Then greedily gobbles the lotta!

By piling sweet treats on her plate
Poor auntie starts putting on weight
She steps on the scales
Then curses and wails
Must diet before it's...Read More

The outboard chugged along 
toward the end of the lake
where the tall peaks were.

When the motor cut, all was still.
Then snowcapped mountains 
began to rise-up from the lake;
eagles flew under our hull.

Imagine staring at your float,
humped like a heron over...Read More

POEM " FROM DUST TO DIAMOND " by martin gedge

With Heart and soul insight a goal a rookie breaking camp
of brawn and steel and sex appeal a chance to light the lamp
so hard and tough and rough enough will separate...Read More

I like ketchup in my Total™ cereal
And hot sauce with my chocolate
But nothing goes better wit bacon
Than marshmallows and Jelly Belly™ jelly beans

I like syrup wit my Jello™
And mustard on my toast
As well as oranges in my coffee
Ooh, boy what...Read More

We are the country of US, this place called United States.
See the many colors of us, the beauty in our tongues.
Under the eagle we stand, together as one in US
always reassured at the sight of stars and stripes.

We are the...Read More

I sat in a garden so lovely and green, hid in a maze so I could not be seen,
with grass green and lush and mowed to perfection,
so delightful the roses- so fine a collection.

I sat in a garden so pretty...Read More

I was remembering my father,
just the other day.
It’s been a lotta years,
since Daddy passed away.

My name is not important.
My fathers name was Jim.
He never called me by my name!
I was always Butch to him!

Fishing was his passion!
It was what he...Read More

It’s Christmas Eve and I must catch,
fish for Santa to fix from scratch.
Surely there’s a fish who will snatch;
fresh worm from batch, fresh worm from batch.

I know he’d love delicious trout,
now, that’s something to shout about;
I hope this water’s not...Read More

when you dive into the sea you're an alien
atmosphere you cannot stay within
the waters surface their o zone layer
a suit to breathe limited time stayer

you cannot adapt and set up settlement
just observe and take in the experience
convoy as a pack...Read More

The healer

Do you remember the night when?
The floodlight came on as we sat by the riverside?
You said you loved me and I quickly said ditto,
A joke you didn’t appreciate.
 Mosquitoes flew like silent angles through air
In the mimosa night and...Read More

I went fishing with my brother Ron, and a bloke named Tommy Grace.
We had camped along the Tarago where we could fish on Harvey's place.
Ron brought along his rabbit traps; he don't like fishing much you see,
and kept 'yapping' all...Read More

There’s young girls and women
All frantically slimming
Perhaps they’re all seeking a mate

But blokes around here
Full of burgers and beer
Are ugly or well overweight

They wear their beer goggles
And when their mind boggles
They ask some old trout on a date

One snuck down...Read More

This river has fallen since the beginning of time
Giving life to the Fern, the Laurel and the Pine
The rocks and the rapids share a fast dance
Over Rainbow Trout twirled in Spring's romance
The river bellows its mighty roar
Calling high above where...Read More

Hello. Mr. Wizard.
I heard you could help me out.
My engine has had me so disturbed
And your wisdom has been whispered
All about.
Hello. Mr. Wizard
Your friend referred
Me to you since I am in doubt
On my engine which has had me so disturbed.

Steering our boat across the moon glow
A sheen of light upside down at 3:30 A.M.
Fork through cream

The night tries to close on us like a lid

The result of one too many martinis
By dad at Dockside

The magic of Autumn wraps my heart in a bow
A miracle of nature to reap where it go

On wing swept currents I want to fly in the sky
Or dance to melodies of falls glorious surround
With uplifted spirits I feel deeply...Read More

Sands of time runneth out
stout whistleblowers must apply clout
to affect the commander in chief forced...
send him back his favorite mantra,
that churlish, childish and cheapish tricky lout
arrogant, defiant, haughty... without doubt

exceeded probation apprenticed, I shout
out, his poor performance absolute zero
as presidential...Read More

Like the beauty hidden beneath the brook
It’s the simple dimples that make me smile
Or is it the drop of a drip 
Off an old black bear’s back 
As he chases the flip flop 
Of a Brook Trout
Or is that the...Read More

The shakeup/anarchy 
The Green party is in power
Not many cars on the streets
Asphalt is removed, cobblestones too.
They are planting trees and vegetables
The motorway is a strawberry field.
I don’t mind, pick fruit as I walk 
To the tax office, which shut...Read More
