A Fisherman’s Son


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Like a flashlight the
Moonbeam shines
It covers a little boy and
Sandy his dog

They sit on papa’s dory
One day they will
Fish for cod

Sky turns dark like
A black blanket coyotes
Yowl an owl hoots
Supper mama shouts

Feet pound like thunder
On the dock
Coming.

Maggie, as I wend my way through the Autumn of my life's journey, I do return to those days of yesteryear. Besides, it replenishes the juice of writing. Thank you for your kind words. Richard LP

Highhat---thank you too. Amazing how our brain is wired. When I had my stroke, I lost many memories and although my short term memory is still struggling, I am discovering my memories of years and years ago are returning. Praise the Lord. Cheers, Richard LP
