Carpe Diem

Seize the day.

Carpe Diem little fish

The fishermen's checking the line

A gentle tug on the hook

Make sure your heart is still on the platter

Ready to dine

Author's Note

Sometimes... the meaning of some things can be so complex.

You've seized this poem in just a few simple lines by allowing me to ponder this piece. I had to read it quite a few times before I could understand the meaning behind it, and well it turns out that I couldn't figure it out. I originally thought that perhaps you were the fish, and that somebody (possibly from your past) whom has perhaps hurt you in some way is the fisherman... but I am guessing I am way off and am just with unanswered questions. You've got me interested and wondering, always a great thing to leave the reader doing.

5 lines, and very deep!

Yes I'm an avid fisherman, but I'm thinking this is about something other then fishies :)

Even the title... carp, that is a fish as well... hmmmmm?

Very sneaky you :)
Now you've got me more puzzled.

Fish is good.... but I think your talkin about something a little different here :P. Ofc fish hearts aren't exactly scrumdidilyumptious either.

On a more serious note you have a wonderful way of expressing complex feelings with such simple words :).

Wow. I loved that! Was it a haiku? A very great symbolism rolled up into the small poem itself. I loved it. I added you as a friend, and I will check out your book. I have one out too!
