David you would think so!!!
But have you ever heard the tall tales of the fish that got away. It can spark a lot of debate and argument.

I feel that everyone should be able to write and comment what they feel in their hearts.

I was almost going to publish a poem on the same matter but I didn't what to ruffle feathers. So I publish poems about love instead, who could disagree with being in Love. LOL

It really doesn't have much to do with the poet but with a person's believes. I feel all have the right to believe something strongly as long as they try to force them another.

A great poem, from a great poet.

Peace and God Bless

Hi David,

I was just thinking about writing a poem on this topic today, but never got the time. Then I came home and read your excellent piece on the subject. You took the words out of my mouth, but no doubt wrote them much more poetically than I could anyway, so I'm glad.

I'm afraid I have to agree with you. I guess I wrote my latest poem in response to Tom's poem on the subject, but I also confess (no pun intended) to writing much spiritual poetry recently, especially in the later months of last year.

Point taken, and thanks for the good advice - much appreciated. I love your use of rhyme in this poem - well done. Nature is one of my favorite subjects, as you may have guessed from my previous poetry. I haven't fished since I was a boy (with my father), but I have fond memories. 'Talking of friends' eludes me though. I 'have' friends, but to talk about them in poetry is a 'foreign concept' to me. Talking about 'love' on the other hand is common.

Enjoy the rest of your week, and best wishes. Warmest regards,

Chris

Nice one David, I love my fishin' too. I fish in the sea near my home, and I dangle a nice juicy bait and fish for responses on a poetry site!

Best wishes and keep up the good work!

Tom
