Poem Artwork


 


From the stern of my boat,


I sit and at the sun gloat,


It sets with ease, so many of it have wrote,


Cooler it seems, must go and fetch my coat…


 


The fish all come to the surface as well,


They are there to watch the sunset too,


I do not say this as just a story to tell,


You can ask any of my loyal crew, in lieu…


 


I find myself unable to drop another line,


The fish I can see are smarter than I,


They know I am here, telling me to of the sunset watch,


Another day of fishing I have allowed myself to botch…

Well, if that's all you catch you're doing well.
One of our inlets here has this long Jetty, and the first and last time I went out fishing on it, something big bumped the jetty and rocked it, casting my mind back to Jaws, so I lit outa there...
Later we were told that White pointers come in that far!!!

Wanna fish in South Aussie mate? hehe
Nice sunset, if all is lost, rufuz wont let you starve, he'll have a bone stashed somewhere...

'Botch'? I don't think the crafty fish will see it that way. Sounds like they were singing a sentimental song to you. Aw shucks! How could I do it? you groaned.

Gets worse when we reach the stage where we let the tapoles go! I can no longer bring myself to even holding frog's spawn - I weep!

Poor Ed, he'll go hungry tonite, unless he has a bit of a steak somewhere...unless someone else took it. Victor

It's the ease of silent ebbing and the quiet of evening shade that makes this a most charming poem.
