I didn't have a chance to write a new one so will share this older one I wrote a few years ago during the summer.

I know you are dreaming
of fish hooks
and slippery mackerel
sliding through your
hands.
I know your boat
is waiting
like a patient
lover,
floating on the water
of anticipation.
I know the blue sky
is a magnet
drawing you on
and the sun is a siren
luring you away.
But if you stay
here in the swallow
of our bed,
I’ll let you hook
me.
I’ll be your best
catch yet.

Oh, now see?
That's how you do it!!
Nice, job, Linda!
Very nicely written. I've read so many different Aubade's that when I wrote mine, I didn't even know where to start. You did a great job.
He'd be a fool to refuse such a tempting offer.
Love the symbolism in this.
awwwwwww... makes me think about that country song about the wife giving her husband an ultimatum.. "fishing or me??" and he says,, "i'm gonna miss her....."
Clever plot and an offer that can't be refused!
You did it flawlessly..

a tempting offer for the guy ;)
Nicely done! You captured the feeling in a marvelous style.
Well done!

Wow!
It's lovely.
And I'd been away from TOP for a while because life was getting a little too much to handle.
But now things are better and I hope to get back to writing poetry and being inspired by TOP as soon as possible. :)
