We are just the same - looking for free lunch.

River of Life

by LisaMay


Swift
A fish leaps
Angling for free lunch
We’ve arrived at the same point
Both expect a tasty bite
I have upper hand
Pole is held
Firm

Now
Fish flicks clear
My free lunch is gone
He heads downriver quickly
It’s the one that got away
A lucky escape
So agile
Fish

Gone
Bright fins flash
Shimmering with life
Heroic, he diced with death
There will be more barbs to come
Schoolmates are laughing
It’s their turn
Next
