Good morning, friends and readers. Today is our poetry workshop day. Today is when the words just come out of you, and you just try to put them into some kind of playful form. It’s our free-wheeling creative wordplay day. No judgment. No critiquing. Just getting it out there, all in fun. Please share your poems in my Comments section. Here is my poem for today:
Our Loves
You love to fish,
Like I love to write.
You throw your line into the deep waters,
With wonderment of what will be brought to the surface.
As do I.
In the meantime, you sit peacefully with yourself,
Just breathing, just waiting, just expecting,
Yet not knowing really what to expect.
As do I.
Sometimes the line never moves.
Nothing is ever felt.
Not even a nibble.
But for the days when the line reaches the bottom depths,
And catches on to something so full of life and movement and veracity,
And though difficult to bring it in, you actually feel one with the life process of it all,
That’s what keeps you hooked on fishing.
That’s what keeps me hooked on writing.
You love to fish,
Like I love to write.
What a lovely analogy…fishing and writing. I enjoyed reading this today. Thank you for sharing your “catch.”
Thank you, Michelle. 🙂
