Mahi Madness and Accompanied Poems
Part 1
Chewing on salty blue,
Spitting fuzzy white light.
Plowing the gorgeous seas,
And surfing the swells of delight.
Searching for orange and yellow,
Lined up in floating batches.
The ocean turns up teeming life,
Concentrated worlds in weed patches.
Then, the green glows below.
A flicker reflects on her spotted side,
Two fish take flight just to the right
Tug, and we’re ready for this rigorous ride.
Spitting fuzzy white light.
Plowing the gorgeous seas,
And surfing the swells of delight.
Searching for orange and yellow,
Lined up in floating batches.
The ocean turns up teeming life,
Concentrated worlds in weed patches.
Then, the green glows below.
A flicker reflects on her spotted side,
Two fish take flight just to the right
Tug, and we’re ready for this rigorous ride.
Part 2
The Singing Reel summer album,
“Fish On” track 1 plays out
A colorful couple dancing below
The bull follows his lady, splashing all about.
Quick whip, turn, slide,
He swims in tune, tail to tail
A crowd of little triggers
“Fish On” track 1 plays out
A colorful couple dancing below
The bull follows his lady, splashing all about.
Quick whip, turn, slide,
He swims in tune, tail to tail
A crowd of little triggers
stir up the weeds in a scattered trail.
There’s a big finale as she’s up and away
He’s left to wonder, slow’n to a drift
As the melody fades, the beat drops
Thumping on the boat ‘till the icy lift.
There’s a big finale as she’s up and away
He’s left to wonder, slow’n to a drift
As the melody fades, the beat drops
Thumping on the boat ‘till the icy lift.
Part 3
There's a bite,
He's bit.
The fish
just hit
And a whole part of
his brain just lit
up orange and red
swirls in that spot...
This kid's been caught.
The pole.
This reel.
These hands
can feel
the pull
line peel,
this fish-
it's real.
The yells,
the cheers!
His struggle,
his fears.
This boy won't stop
'till the fish is on top.
The jump,
It's up!
Now down,
it's deep,
but he knows
how to keep
until it's complete
His face,
Aglow.
Not from sun,
we know.
It's the brilliant pride.
A humbling ride.
