Gone Fishing (poem) by Paul Berube on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on November 10, 2007

This is a beautiful and relaxing scene. My first fishing experience was a disaster. Small boat, little room. I went to cast and found I was snagged on something. Two prongs of my treble hook was lodged in my hubby's bare back! He was kind and calm about it. I've gotten much better at casting. Wonderful piece, Paul.

If I ever catch a fish Paul it is a bonus to the events that take
place around me, the morning walkers, the sea and the sky becoming brighter as dawn is replaced by daylight. Meeting old friends who fish the same spot as myself. I was on the peer that morning at five o'clock, caught one Bream, got wet as it rained, then the sun came out, beautiful.

For some reasons, this one reminds me of my own poem "Serenity of Silence".

Good imagery and well-done indeed!
