Fishing for Nothing

No Catch

Fishing for Nothing

Sitting on the rocks alone

Not much to do but think about the way the wind is blowing

Watching them dart hither and thither

Wondering where they are going to gather

Might be something I am missing

But I do keep listening

The sparkles on the surface keep glistening

Now I am wondering if the creatures below are listening

Something seems to be hissing

Maybe someone somewhere is kissing

If only I could get the catch I keep missing

Seems like I am fishing for nothing

For Fun
