Just being out on the water is enough to help a tired soul. When one adds moonlight, it's perfect. Thank you for sharing this peaceful poem and presentation with us. Both are beautiful.

That's your poetic way of saying that the boat is completely empty - the boat is "full of moonlight." Poor guy - I thought some of the best fishing is at night.

This is kinda of Erie. I love it. The artwork pairs well as usual. The man in the boat looks cold, bringing life to the photo. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
God bless,
Steve

Aww that's disappointing for him, although great for the fish:) Delightfully presented in those charcoal tones. Nicely done, Gypsy! Thanks for sharing. Debbie

Comment from LateBloomer
Ahh. Your poem illustrate the essence of the hopeful fisherman who goes home without a catch. Hopefully, the quite of night and the moonlight removed the stresses of the day, and the stress of an empty net. Good sensory appeal. Excellent photo. Well done. Xo. M

Comment from Patty Mazzurco
This Gogyohka beautifully captures a moment of quiet and reflection. The imagery of "still and cold waters" creates a serene, almost melancholic atmosphere. The idea of "empty nets and bait" contrasts with the "boat full of moonlight," suggesting a poetic reward for the fisherman's efforts, despite the lack of tangible catch. The gentle transition from a failed fishing attempt to the tranquil beauty of moonlight provides a lovely, reflective closure. It's a subtle reminder that sometimes, the real treasure lies in appreciating the simple, serene moments.
