Show and Tell
« on: March 08, 2009, 08:40:39 AM » by Ken Robson

A hint or guess of swelling,
a fullness in the thighs.

A certain pride of ownership
apparent in the eyes.

The craft of angling is catching fish. The art of angling is a
receptiveness to those connections, the art of letting one
thing lead to another until, if only locally and momentarily,
you realize some small completeness.

Yes Ken, very fine... so much contained in your 4 lines.
Wonderful how alive you make the word "certain"....

Kevin, SL, Tom--

Glad you enjoyed this piece. I was
on long island mid-summer sundown
when I saw this site all in white--so
beautiful I had to verse it on ice.

Another of your fine sketches; love how this lends itself to any number of things; for instance, i see my daughter just beginning to show with her first pregnancy. There is about this poem, a some thing that blooms.

Lynn--had I known about your
daughter perhaps we could have
dedicated the poem to her! If she
blossoms anything like her mother
this baby's in for a ripe run at life!
Thank you for your thoughts.
Really, if this poem done with
calligraphy could in some way fit
into your world please do; I have no
proprietary interest in it.
