PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I reeled one in and headed for the shore

saying all the while to my exhausted inner self

I shan't be searching here no more

but such thoughts I've thought before

and many other far too easily captured cliches

fast become fleshless fish in the mind

that all too easily got away

other than this

I can no better explain

as hearty as Orion

I could never be.............
