April 12*

Posted on April 12, 2014 by othermindpress

vermillion rockfish

jigging at 280 feet
on the far waters
the surface a slapping confused chop
inky boat-swirling eddies
but below
in the calm
lines straight down
hefty goggle-eyed
tasty
rockfish

    I like the way you capture a moment…some poetry is overly cluttered, but yours feels balanced. Good to see you at Phrasings.
