Fish Tale Poem by Sonny Rainshine

Fish Tale

Rating: 4.8


Every day we fish.
We cast our lures and our flies
into the rippling reservoir of life and wish
for a nibble.

Maybe we fish for a compliment,
for a single kind word, for a nod
of approval. For a lover's assent,
or for a day without rain.

Like any good fisherman,
we cast out and we wait.
We sit on the riverbank
and anticipate

the bounty of our catch,
the catch-of-the-day.
And we dream of stories to tell
of the one that got away.

Are you baiting me? ((laughing, laughing)) I so enjoyed this analogy... The One That Got Away Your scarlet letters lure, (you drag your mouth with mine) you drag me under deep waters, hooked, I hang on your every word; You drag me blindly upstream, hard lines pull against that current, hard against my better judgment, against the odds, almost to the point of no return.
