A Man Fishing By Night Poem by Rory Hudson

A Man Fishing By Night

Rating: 4.7


They blend as one,
the ocean
and the man who stands
fishing by night.

And, like his life,
his line reaches out
towards a horizon
that cannot be seen.

I am just beginning to read your work, but this one is amazing! deep meaning a very few words. I want to read many more.

Short, suscinct and quickly to the point, conveying your thoughts wonderfully to us. The image of a solitary fisherman standing in the ocean with his 'life' stretched out towards the far horizon distinctly formed for me as I read this, Rory. I like it.

agreeing with the previous critique the second metrical assembly is very powerful...
