Waiting for Silverfish

Augustus

 

the lines are out
the hooks are baited
lines entangled
lines debated

for days we waited
the fishmonger sated

lines in time are stitched
waiting for the Silverfish

      Wonderful poem. I love to fish, but I'm more of the great lakes variety, never of the ocean. I too am glad to keep reading your wonderful poems again!

        Never fished the Great Lakes. Sounds like fun.

        I like pulling redfish out of the Gulf, but that's about it as far as my fishing experience goes. Nice poem, thanks for sharing with us!
