    Poem Commentary

    My ecologies to every ethnic group or fishing athletes who might take offence at this humorous abrasion.

    Here Fishy

     A Vegge Day
    I watch the screen
    and drink coffee;
    **************

    A fishing show;
    Men of Bass
    how wonderful

    Talk is small
    water's wet
    There she goes!

    Jumpy jump;
    'smiles a laugh
    gets a net

    Thumbs it's mouth
    twists it back
    I'm upset

    Laughing still
    'thinks it's great
    what an ass

    Taunts his friend
    gets his lure
    throws it back

    (It's a bass)

    Muskelunge
    both agree
    is the goal

    Cut to break...
    "kill your dear
    with a bow!"

    Up a tree
    in a chair
    branch on head

    Perfect shot
    through the heart
    make him dead

    Flash  a smirk
     laundry's done
    click it off

    Mind runs on
    picture him
    in a ring

    Raging bull
    Mexico
    here's the thing

    Cheering crowd
    stands his ground
    eye to eye

    Just one chance
    makes a wish
    wings to fly.

    I get surprised myself most of the time since I let my fingers do the thinking.

    I got here once before, then got distracted by BessFrom Kenton's wit and smile. You deserved better than my ADD shift to her sight w/o a comment here. Wonderfully brief and ultimately a satisfying piece of writing.

    Good stuff. (The scary thing is those fishing shows actually have a credit for "writer").

    YOU MEAN IT'S ALL PHONY? Like wrestling? They don't act like that in real life then. I respect them more now, since I'm a fledgling at that now. Thanx Bess

    An addendum to your comment Bess; I was talking to the painter while at my landscaping job up north. He told he that one day a famous Candian fisher-show guy came up to his neck of the woods to film an episode for TV. He told me how the prop men would dip into a fresh barrel of pickerel from the oil drum and stick um on the lines. They brought this up with them. Could anyone maintain the vicarious thrill of catching a fish if that were to be public knowledge? It's a head shaker.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
