I think we all are like this fisherman in life.
Another excellent rendition of life.

beautifully penned piece as always

I liked it & the pic too

beautiful!

All the more troubled I am sure, by the fact that fish stocks are decreasing…

well written

Now I see poetry kabayan!

I think, not only fisherman, we should appreciate what others (such as farmers) did on behalf of us. We’re inter-related and of course, can’t get anything done alone. Clicked you “liked it”

Thanks everyone. To Chan, wait until I could come up with my poetry in ode to the farmers. There’s really endless poetry to squeeze out from occupations, lol.

How about an ode to politicians? lol I bet it would get published in purple slinky!

I love the tribute to fisherman and I wish the men here in NC knew writers like you, they have started to put restrictions on the fisherman here and for many this is their livelyhood. These men work hard and they should be allowed to fish at whatever hours they choose. Awesome write.

I like the way you wrote it, well done!

A day by the river always makes me feel great, so sad it didn’t make him feel better…he was lucky to catch cod.

He is one of the lucky fishermen. So many around here have lost their livelihoods due to cuts. A really good piece.

Christine

a very good entry

Lovely poem.

“Before the fish must end in someone else’s plate, somebody must do the catching.” I like your introduction. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.” Thank God for the cod.

Nice subject of poetry kabayan.

Sounds like a relaxing productive day to me. I’d like to join him

Wonderful piece. For some the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

Depressing and gloomy, but beautiful. Am I sensing communication problems with his wife as well?

I thought this was a really good tribute to fishermen. The intro about someone having to catch the fish is definitely something for all of us to think about.
