How can I not imagine the wide variety of fishes from the fisherman's net! Thanks for sharing and congratulations, Philo.

Well articulated and nicely brought forth with conviction. Focused and factual.

'A Fisherman's Life' is a fine portrayal of those engaged in fishing for livelihood. Thanks a lot.

Thanks to poetess Sylvia Frances Chan for her inspiring comments. I appreciate her efforts to convince you not to be stubborn about rhyming and lose the correctness of the language. I too wanted to say the same. Hope, you will take the suggestion in good grace.

'The fisherman's lifeline, depends on what he nets' - absolutely true! Thanks for sharing the nice picture of the net, which is very much similar to what our fishermen use in Bangladesh. Heartiest congratulations on your poem's selection as the 'Member Poem of the Day'! An honor well deserved.

The joys of fishing, calm and peacefulness with the delight of a catch. A beautiful photo.
