A poem

[ellajam]

A poem is not a baited hook
__but a fish circling,
____nibbling the swaying weeds
______and shimmering its way upstream.

A poem is not a baited hook,
but The Baite

ha, seems I don't even get my own allusions.

Lovely except for my stubbed my toe on
"If thou, to be so seen, be’st loth,
By sun or moon, thou darken’st both,"
Though I can see how one might get used to it.
