Passion's Pride Poem by James B. Earley

Passion's Pride

Rating: 5.0


Alone.........I sit
By the fishing hole
Didn't bring..don't need
...No fishing pole

Just want to catch
A breath of air
..And reconcile
Distraught..despair

..For in my slumber
Though wide awake
Passion's pride
Fueled my mistake

..And now..so alone am I
By the fishing hole
Didn't bring..don't need
...No fishing pole



Author's note:

.....Just the way life is.........sometimes.....

There's just something about water that's comforting, relaxing, and mind-altering. What better place to contemplate life's choices and consequences? Nicely done, James. Linda :)

Yep, I can go with that one. A well written piece. Mine is country walking for hours on end, and then wondering how you got where you were going without any thought. Enjoyed. Thanks for pointing me to it Steve

So true - fishing rod is an excuse for a man to get away to sit and muse. Great piece James Mark
