We always loved to fish at NIGHT !
Believing FISH could not see in the twilight
We talked sotto voce ~ shone no LIGHT
Believing FISH all loved "The Sound of Silence !"
We cast our RODS and sat with our breath bated
Praying the FISH would bite tonight
The joys of Night time Fishing ~ understated
THE MOON SHONE WITH ETHEREAL LIGHT !
The joys of Night time Fishing ~ understated
Praying the FISH would bite tonight
We cast our RODS and sat with our breath bated
Believing FISH all loved "The Sound of Silence !"
We talked sotto voce ~ shone no LIGHT
Believing FISH could not see in the twilight
We always loved to fish at NIGHT !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

are on your side the Poem will make sense read backwards
as well as forward. This one is a good example ~ OK !

Brilliant - it must be mirror day today Brian
Thanks MIKE ~ sure is ~ but I don't look in the mirror as often as I did cos my DAD is always tere smiling back @ me ~ metamorphosis or what ! Pleased you liked the poem ~ pleased it worked ~ Ideally the MIRROR IMAGE PART should be written upside down ! Yours BRIAN
Nice work Brian.
THANKS FRANK ~ The amazing thing is it works ~ front to back & back to front and it still rhymes as well ! Yours BRIAN
Brian, nice work. Can you do this for ice fishing too? If yes, don't forget the whiskey!
IDEAL for Frozen Fish Fishing ~ because one is always reflected in the ICE I I've been giving talks on KENTUCKY ~ WHAT A STATE TO BE IN ! So I will bring a jar of Bootleg Burbon. The Feds fined us 10 bottles when they visited my shed last week ! BRIAN
A fine write Brian. Yep, I understand it even if whole lines are written backwards, after a few sherries! I would say then - Write fine A!
Oh do shut up Orchi, and put that sherry down! lol.
YES STEVE ~ Technically the above is "Une Poeme d'Inversion" ~ This one actually reads better in reverse ~ c'est la vie ! Pleased you both understood it (stay off the Amontillado) and enjoyed it (stay in the Amontillado !). Yours BRIAN
Great job! I've never fished at night so I wouldn't know (unless you count the wee hours of the morning) but you did an awesome job on your mirror poem! Hugs-Christina
Thanks SWEETHEART ~ One does try to maintain the tone of MPS ~ and even occasionally even raise it ! Cuddles & Hugs as always ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@@@@@@
It is "Mirror" Friday. You are fishing here, and Michael Edwards "Well fed Am I'. Now I start to think, what fed him?
Beautiful mirrored piece.
WELL M & M ~ Mike is partial to a bit oF fresh caught fish ~ and of course if its a freebie he's always first in the Q ! Pleased you liked the Poem ~ BRIAN
Very good write Brian.
THANKS ANDY ~ pleased it ticked your box. The beauty of it is the second verse ALWAYS writes itself ~ Yours BRIAN
Nicely done ✅
Thanks WLS ~ pleased you enjoyed it ~ Yours BRIAN.
Very nice writing Brian. I liked to fish when I was a child. It is fun. Now I feel sorry for the fish. Prefer to buy them so I don't see it dying
Thanks MALU ~ i appreciate your sentiments ~ even vegetarians have to pluck and kill carrots etc ! We can't eat a fish while it's still alive ~ so when we land them we should kill them PDQ ! Thanks for caring ~ HUGS ~ Brother BEIAN
And I understand that fresh fish are the best.
That is very true MALU ! I only live 8 miles from the S E Coast of England so our fish is very fresh. As soon as it is killed fish begins to deteriorate and smell ! So we have to either dry it ~ smoke it ~ salt it or freeze it ! Of course as with frozen fruit you lose some of the texture and it is the same with Frozen Fish. Therfore if fish is consumed with a couple of days of being caught it has the best texture and flavour ~ what we call ORGANOLEPTIC or eating quality ~ OK ~ A hug from Brother BRAIN
Well written and expressed
Thanks TONY ~ pleased you enjoyed it ~ BRIAN
Welcome
Stunning form and clever rhyming - a treat of a mirror-read Brian my friend.
Thanks FAY ~ It always amazes me that these work ~ but they do ! Thanks for your support ~ Yours as ever ~ BRIAN
nicely written!
Thanks for your appreciation SKYEBELLE pleased you liked it ! To some extent MPS is like a POETRY COLLEGE where you can read and understand different forms and styles of poetry. You will only get support and encouragement on this site ~ so be brave and try something new Yours BRIAN (UK)
