I love fishing! I haven't been this year this poem just makes me want to fish even more! ! !
Is there a catch in this poem? he he. congrats on getting poem of the day!
Ah, yes! I love to fish, so why haven't I yet written a poem about fishing? I really enjoyed yours. Congratulations on Poem of the day! One little tip to make it even better: First line of verse four, you meant YOU'RE instead of YOUR. Good job!
Nice old fashioned language that sounds wistful and sophisticatedly content with life.
True beauty in your words. Felt so relaxed in a picturesque setting just reading this. Thank You
All creative activities, in fact, whether it is photography, bird watching, gardening, etc have a similar effect...
nice poem...not only fishing, any activity for that matter, photography, gardening, bird watching, etc that involves soul and passion is rewarding and gives us memories to fall back upon in hard times...
it's a very nice poem...In fact any activity for that matter that involves soul and passion, bird watching, photography, gardening, painting, reading, drawing, is rewarding and gives us fond memories to fall back on during hard times...like Wordsworth in 'Daffodils.'
Good poem Damian. I have fond memories of fishing for tiddlers as a boy.
I love the poem and the image that it makes.! Wow! My soul needs to be in such a calm place! And by reading this work, i feel that it is!
When I read this poem the first time the other day, I didn't even notice that it had a sound track. I have just listened to your reading of the poem, and it was great. I love that British accent of yours. I never get to hear anything like that in Utah (or here in Brazil) .
