       Our Grandchildren’s Catch

A fish to me is simple and free.

In a pool of crisp clean water.

Doing what a fish does far from slaughter.

He lives his whole life in this pool.

Calmly waiting for a fly or a fool.

We sneak up on the pool ever so slow.

Trying not to cast shadow to make him go.

We watch the surface for a tell tail ripple.

Trying to make the days count a triple.

Setting a fly gracefully on top.

I’m frozen in time waiting for the take with a plop.

He takes my offering with little regret.

It makes my heart pound while scrambling for the net.

He finally yealds to the fly and line.

I ease him in he’s finally mine.

I think, what a gallant fight.

To be put back in the pond you’ve earned the right.

I left the pond with a warm thought.

Tomorrow by someone else you’ll be caught.

Great dan!  The feelings of quiet and expectancy, that I know so well, make yearn to pick up the old fly rod and cast to the edge of the riffle.
