457. Poem by Jaden Knight

She liked to go fishing on an ocean of words
armed with both rod and net
she was there for many hours each day
only leaving when the sun went down

She rejected many of her catches
and discarded them back in the sea
someone else would pick them up another time
and have a better use for them

When she was happy with what she brought in
the catch would often be swallowed whole
so they can be digested as they are
and meanings can be pondered

As long as she has the strength in both mind and body
you will see her on the jetty
casting her mind out again
in the hope of getting her dream haul
