Hook, 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.

quite the catch. a phrase i often use.

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.

dearest Sami... the third sonnet is my favorite...
it seemed to blend with romantic waves as the
Tide comes and goes with ripples of passion...

The tide always comes in and goes out and sometimes floods the rivers and streams and other time they are poco a loco....little by little they will fill with water for the beautiful wildlife around.... I enjoyed reading this piece...felt like I belonged to nature.....comparing this stream to a woman's legs... very clever and emotional as well.
Best, B

It’s like you painted nature as a woman filled with emotions which man does not always understand but is attracted to her all the same like a fish- hook line and sinker! Full salute to the sonnet master.

They were waiting for me J. 😉
what an analogy...a river wearing a bridal dress...long flowing through pastures...(you know how much I love pastures and cows)
so these lines grabbed me immediately and sucked me into your poem hook, line and sinker.
I love the stanza of Beethoven and his sonatas...
So acclaimed, so talented so tortured...music like water going over rough rocks.
