PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i anticipate the day's adventures

with a bloated belly

full of comforting coffee

and with a hopeful heart

i take courageous steps over the crosswalk

my fingers feeling my fishing rod

i jump soundlessly onto the soft sand

i watch the water whisk around shells

i sigh at the sight of a silver sun

and at the feel of fluid, silky sand

the salty sea slips away

to the giant blue banner of sky

the world is not yet wide awake

i cast my line carefully with concealed delight

the whistling wind hums a sweet lullably

clouds temporarily cover the sun with their cloaks

at the end of the first hour, fish remain unfound

then a morning meal arrives--a warm welcome

after wrestling wind and wave

a fish hits and fights forcefully

its a big one and he brings newfound determination

with only one war won,

we begin to bring our trip to end

i pack up poles with a pout

unfortunately, no fish for me today
