Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Two fish
Under the spell
Of the fisherman.

One in the bucket
One on the line,
Hook deep into flesh.

Which one to eat -
Undecided.
Not ready to throw
One back or
Release the other.

The fish bolts on the line
Pull out for open water.
She reels the thread
Back to her side.

Thin line, easily broken
Hangs from its mouth.
Hook chafes and bleeds
Waiting to be landed
Or released.

Will the fisherman decide
Or will the fish bite the cord
And roam free?
