Short Poems

1. “Casting Lines”
The river dances with the sun,
I cast my line, the game’s begun.
The quiet hum of water’s tune
Keeps me company as I commune.

2. “The One That Got Away”
I tug my line with sudden force,
A giant’s on the other source.
The fight is long, the tension high,
But in the end, the fish flies by.

My troubles vanish with each cast,
The rod is steady in my grasp.
I find my peace among the waves,
My heart content as nature saves.

The water’s calm, my heart beats fast,
A tug of line, the moment’s past.
I pull my prize from the stream,
The feeling of success, a fisherman’s dream.

Medium Poems

1. “The Fisher’s Song”

Out on the water, with the sun on my face,
I cast out my line, in search of a chase.
The gentle rhythm of the waves and the breeze,
Lulls me to a state of utter peace.

With patience and skill, I wait for my prey,
Hoping for a catch, to brighten my day.
The thrill of the tug, as the fish take the bait,
Is a feeling that can never abate.

And when finally, I reel in my prize,
I feel a sense of joy in my heart arise.
For in this moment, as I admire the fish,
I know that life is truly bliss.

2. “The Angler’s Lament”

I sit by the lake, all alone in my thoughts,
Wondering why my fishing attempts come to noughts.
I cast my line, but no fish seems to bite,
Leaving me feeling empty, and devoid of delight.

The water is still, and the sky is grey,
Reflecting the sadness that’s in my way.
For I yearn for a catch, and the thrill it brings,
To shake off the malaise, and spread my wings.

But as I sit here, lost in despair,
I realize that nature is a force that’s fair.
And that sometimes, even the best laid plans,
Can end up bearing no fruits in our hands.

Long Poems

The Lore of the Angler

A river, serene and still
Lies before me, calm and chill
Nature’s symphony, light and free
Washes over me with harmony

My rod and reel, my oldest friend
The catch of the day, a sweet blend
A dance with death, this bass I seek
A challenge I embrace with streaks

The line goes taut, a sign of life
A tug of war, with all its strife
I see the foe, its silver sheen
My heart pounds in a frenzied mien

The lure is set, the hook is caught
This is the moment, I have sought
It’s the lore of the angler, that holds me fast
This tranquil space, a love that will last

The sun peeks through, with golden rays
The fisherman’s hope in every phase
Time stands still, in this idyllic spot
Far from the worldly turmoil and fraught

The gentle stream, the fragrant breeze
My soul does ease, my mind at peace
A world of wonder, with life alive
The joy of fishing, my heart does thrive

The day ends with a story to share
A tale of the one that didn’t dare
The one that got away, will be back
To test my skill, in the endless track

For it’s the lore of the angler, that binds me tight
A love that will never fade from sight
The gentle touch of nature’s hand
Keeps alive, the fishing dreamland.

The Angler’s Symphony

The angler stood beside the stream,
His rod held fast against the gleam
Of sun that danced along the waves
And illuminated all he craves.

For in the river’s flowing heart,
There swam a myriad of art –
A symphony of life and light,
A feast of colors, sound, and sight.

The angler cast his line with care,
His hope and patience equal share,
For he knew what waited below –
A world that few may ever know.

And as his bait was slowly drawn,
A tug, a pull, and then it’s on –
A dance begins between the two,
A harmony that’s bold and true.

For every fish that’s caught and reeled,
A moment in eternity sealed –
A memory of sights and sounds,
A moment when the world abounds.

And even when the day is done,
The angler’s heart has just begun,
For in his soul, there lives a fire
That glows with every catch’s desire.

So here’s to all who cast their bait,
And dance with life in every state,
For in the river’s flowing heart,
The angler finds his greater part.
