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.

!) CONGRATULATIONS! A well deservedb accolade The Member Poem Of The Day. I must admit that your presentation is absolutely perfect, excellent, the lovely photograph from your own artful hands, sheer beautiful photography, about the poem, all stanzas vest end rhymes, BUT as a poetess of the EnglishI language, I have to tell you that the third person singular must always get an " s" in the verb........but quantity is what he wishes....(2)

Continued) You must not want to rhyme stubbornly at the expense of your beautiful poem, if you want to do that, you must build the sentence differently, for example: ......but quantity is definitely his wish.......................What do you think? God's Blessings, With the very best wishes, Sylvia FC
