Ode to Fish

Setting out on the lake in the boat

no other place I would want to be

cold and waiting like a star in the sky for the fish to bite

 

letting my line lay on the bottom

when you decide to bite

I am sure not to jerk late

reeling you back to me

I can see your beauty and weight

 

when I take you pierced lips off my hook

i finally get a good look

just imagining you on my plate

i am glad of the good update

of us getting another great meal
