Come fishing with me

Come fishing with me

it would teach you patience

you will learn to wait

while lunch swims closer

Come fishing with me

stress will connect to your rod

and flow into the sea

your mind will turn back time

Come fishing with me

you will thank me later

when you stand tall on the rocks

and hear, at last

the voice of murmuring waves.

mmmmmm the art of Zen Fishing ;) lovely thoughtful poem ... free form with just enough structure suites the meditative state of fishing ...can not help but sense just a little sensuality woven in ... i am a terribel fisherman ..i never have a clue as to having an enlightened excursion ... a quiet place .. no one around .. a good book .. a cold beer .. ahhhhhhhhh perfect spot says i! who cares if the place even has fish in it! ;)

You know, I'd sell my kidney if the Mrs would come fishing with me, but hey, I'm the outdoor cat and she's the indoor cat. lol. So I'll take my son instead, or anyone else who needs to unwind :) I'll be honest - I'm a newcomer. Hooks may hook my finger more often than a fish, but well, I like to get my hands dirty, so fishing is ideal!

This beach is long. 4km. (mmm...what is that now again in American....lol.....2.5 miles.... Sequel coming :)

you got me Volcano! i'm too old to switch ;)))))))) going with your son is pretty high up on a parenting success scale if you ask me ... i didn't mention i have never fished an ocean .. i can only imagine the beauty of that sir.... God bless ... i will keep my tackle box ready for that sequel :)

You certainly need patience when you go fishing. It's a wonderful way to take time out and relax though, and gives you the opportunity to take in your surroundings and appreciate the natural environment. I enjoyed where this poem took me.

Thanks Chris. I'm a recovering workaholic so I had to go full circle to be able to enjoy those timeless and simple things in life. Fishing helps :)

This poem plucks all my pleasant, happy strings. I've been an avid fisherman for most of my life. Alas, bad health prevents my doing so now. As your fine poem infers, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Thanks Samuel. I'm a newcomer to the fishing world, and I have discovered countless analogies which are good material for poetry :)
