I love God being described as a fisherman. Great image you selected to accompany the piece as it relates to all things, great and small. Great work! Holly

Comment from rgabel
So much said in just four stanza's. What a truth that we need to be grateful for the harvest of both physical and spiritual. Nicely done.

Very nice tribute to the one who has saved us all. I like the analogy of the fisherman and the fish. Gratitude is often forgotten in this frantic world. Thank you for reminding us.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Like His Disciples, we can (must) become fishers of men if we follow Jesus, whose love for us is beyond full understanding. Very good tanka

Comment from RedVeganPoet
Nice tanka. While I am still debating the direction of my belief, this brings peace to my mind in abundance ;) Reminds me a little of The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. I like the flow, the choice of words, well done.

Hello kashmayank, I appreciate your time and thank you for the visit. You should study the site's rules/guidance when reading/reviewing and or rating others' work; the four star rating is given when the reader believe there's some flaw or need improvement in the write, otherwise it should be a five star; also, this is a tanka and it cannot be expanded because of syllable/line restriction.
Comment from Curtis Hatch
The poem is beautifully penned and raises a question many men can't answer today. Fishing isn't about catching fish; it is about the abundance of love of the greatest Fisherman ever to live. Curtis

Comment from Shela Francis
The greatest fishermen, we all know who that is right? When Jesus went down by the lake where they were fishing and told the fishermen to come follow me and I'll make you fishers of men. Thank you for sharing this I really enjoyed it. God Bless You!

Comment from mermaids
I like your theme of fishing is not about fishing. You give the reader something to think about. You say much about Christ in few words. This poem flows smoothly and is an excellent contender in this contest.
