Fishing For The Poem That Got Away


To have your line 
Baited and dunked in- 
To the legendary 
“Rosy-fingered” Aegean 

Waiting for the slightest 
Tug that tells you something 
Classically fishy is dangling 
At the end should be enough 

 
To tell you you’re all 
Wet and it’s well 
Past time to reel 
Yourself in.

  1. I've been running silent but not particularly deep for months, Vassilis, but reading your every post. This year I've promised myself to come up for air and at least tell you when I love your post. I love this one! Past time to reel myself in.... ;-)

  2. How uplifting it is to know how venerable old friends are still out there under the sonar ready to come up with enough oxygen to resuscitate you; thanks so much, Joseph for the kind words. Hang in there. BTW, do you remember a classic submarine movie staring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster titled "Run Silent, Run Deep?" The title alone makes me want to write a poem about it, the title, that is.
