Four more met
These words swarm in shoals
Twisting and darting dodging
Eluding the dredging mental net
.
An unfortunate few caught
Dragged out to flounder and flop
On minds stark decking
.
To be scraped and gutted
Scaled and prepared
For others delectation
.
I think
I may have
Over fished these waters

Know the feeling. Have pulled up more empty hooks than scaly, air gasping, flopping words. This ones a definite keeper!!
Hooked on getting those words out.
love your choice of words
To be scraped and gutted Scaled and prepared For others
"I think
I may have
Over fished these waters"
poignant..
Greatly evocative -
the scaling part made me cringe.
How abstract and enticing. We see, we want, we capture, only to find that we have taken too much.
I like this ... makes me think.
