Hook, line and sinkerA Poem by Sami KhalilHook, line and sinker by Sami Khalil Poco a poco, a turgid river moves In bridal style wearing a longish dress Leggy, stretching along pastures and grooves A bit closer to flooding, I confess. Droplets of water in life’s larger schemes Smoothing hard stones and setting mud courses As ducks swim between reeds with lucky streams Catching tea-time pals who wonder sources. Low tide, high tide, the waves do gently roll Like laying a hand on grand pianos Playing Beethoven’s sonatas pressed whole Musical notes spanning acclaimed credos. Poco a poco, soft ripples linger Gracefully accrue hook, line and sinker. © 2024 Sami KhalilReviews
