VERY good, Marie … KLINK!🍻

I would guess most all of us have been fish and fisher drunk on romance at one time or another, assuring we each know how it feels on both ends of the hook. I've had a few get away, and have escaped the hook a few times, too.
I adore the colourful artwork with the eager fish and its hungry tongue sticking out … ha-hahhh!

A grrreat spot-on Senryu, Marie!
Thanks for the mornin' chuckle … albeit, there can be a less humorous side, too! ⁓ Richard🖌

I also enjoy penning the occasional Haiku or Senryu … if interested, check out my folder JAPANESE POETRY ⛩ on page 2 of my profile.

Thank you for kindly reading and for your delightful witty comment and also for the laugh! Yes, the fish is sticking out his little tongue at the delight of seeing a worm he can feast on, so focussed on the worm, he fails to see the hook. That is his downfall, sadly, Richard. Thank you for suggesting your Haiku/Senryu folder, I am now off to visit and looking forward to reading so very much. Thank you again, Richard...

Marie,
But, see? That is why La Belle Dame has no Merci, her eye is wild, and her foot is light, and I am there to give her sweet moans... Until she leaves me wasting away in the withered sedge. What an adventure! What an expression of life! And with bait like hers, I'll gladly take the hook, and later fry in her pan if need be. At least I lived!

Thank you for reading and for your very kind comment, dear red93. So happy the poem took you back in time to yesteryear to relive some very happy and wonderful memories. Thank you for your kind words too...

Call me a hungry big-mouthed sea bass. It has been eons, but I well remember that stupor-inducing liquor of romance. Ow! That hook sure hurts. And even more when it gets ripped out.

[Marie]

Once tasted, the stupor-inducing liquor of romance becomes absolutely addictive, Sam and yes, how that hook hurts so much, especially as you say "when it gets ripped out" and the effects of the liquor of romance has begun to fade, causing quite a hangover! Thank you so very much for kindly reading and for your so witty comment which I enjoyed so much! Bless you always, dear Sam...
