Short Catch One Poems

Trying to catch a catfish
Can't catch a single one
Something to grab a stone
And poke it in the head
At last, I catch one....

first snowflakes falling
melting quickly on the ground
catch one on my tongue

waves loving the shore
summer on the sandy beach
seashells galore


throw the bread up high
seagulls flying overhead
catch one if you can

Ladybugs bring luck, that's what they all say,

If you catch one before it flies away.

They're very pretty to see.

If it lands on you or me

Then it's said we'll have good luck the whole day....

~ A Gentle Breeze ~
  Just a wishin' and a hopin'
    on a frigid Chicago day


I wish there were a gentle breeze
  to take away cold winter's sneeze

A giddy wind that twirls about
  Come March I hope we'll catch one out...

Is it better to be a fishing pole 
or a fisherman 
all I know the end result is 
just I just want to be one of God's fisherman 
to at least catch one soul at a time

a gentle sprinkling
they look tasty
should i catch one on my tongue?

i catch myself
thinking hard now
is it winter

Is it icy and cold?
Is there snow on the ground
Or is it coming from a cardboard box?

Am I outside
or am I in the laundry room?
it makes a big difference...

The Sun sets out in the West

Finishing up it,s Annual Quest

 Youthful exuberance basked in it,s Summer glow

Bees buzzing to and fro

 Young Love frolicking and playing games like Catch-One-Catch All

 Acts like a Parachute 

Breezy remembrances

 for a Lifetime

as you ease into the Fall...

A dead cat
there on the road.
A cat well known hereabouts;
tabby and bulgy with one ear floppy.

it used to hunt hedgerow birds
though I never saw it catch one.
It would hiss
when
it
missed.

Someone hereabouts
will miss it also.

Too slow it was,
and sadly now
forever
late....

Flashes of light in moonless dark,
here but then not, there but then gone,
the briefest glimpse is all they are,
try to find catch one, but there is none,
it’s drifted off, just to my left,
then to my right, his tail-light on,
a constellation slowly flows,
through my backyard on evenings long....

Going to catch us both a rainbow.
Hop on for a ride.
Help me choose a colour
and lay down by my side.

Romancing on a rainbow.
Is little understood.
Eventually I'll catch one
and then I think we should.

So next time when it's raining
You know right where I'll be.
Out there chasing rainbows
just for you and me....

Random moves
sometimes random so it seems,
the pieces move the strings unseen,
meetings come in between ,
and babe meets babe they do,
its future is up to you?
more fish are swimming too,
if catch one is your dream,
fate tugged by hands unseen....

Mat the Cat had a hat 
Mat the Cat, he was so fat 
He could not fit the hat on his head 
So he gave it away instead 

Mat the Cat had a habit 
He likes to hear the frogs ribbit 
He went to catch one on the mead 
But the frog jumped over his head

If dragons were real asked my son
Would I be able to keep one?
He could stay with me up in my room
Saturday morning we'll both watch cartoons
I could take him with me to school
And play Marco Polo in the pool
But what would you feed him asked I?
He'd need to fly high in the sky
If you catch one they get pretty mean
Dragons live in our wildest dreams....

There is a rare and special creature
lost in the mists of time
women search so far and wide
for a nice man divine

He hides away in a secret land
and ventures out now and then
if you are able to catch one
don't let him escape to his den

He treats you well and oh so kind
he's sweet and funny too
he'd never deign to hurt you
so treat him well and be true...

If yer one and only wish is to catch one really big fish,
Then ya need ta stop bait'n fer minners.
If you'd read my first book you'd use a big hook,
An'a bait big n'uf fer yer dinners.
It might take ye' awhile, but if fishin's yer style,
Ya might catch 'im with one week 'o fishin'.
It's well worth the wait when a hawg takes yer bait,
An' th' catch is as big as yer wishin'!...

Grandpa taught Billy how to fish.
At first, they didn't catch one thing,
Catching a big one was the boy's wish;
When he did, it made his heart sing.

Grandpa was so proud of the little guy,
that he bought him a new fishing pole.
Grandpa took Billy home; he waved bye.
Billy was happy that he reached his goal.

Enjoy simple pleasures
Sun setting overhead
Hues of orange and red
Stunning beauty

Fishermen sit waiting
For a big fish to bite 
Catch one with pure delight
Superb supper

Moon glints on still waters
Casts a silvery glow
Clouds create a shadow
Dark inky sky

I am pointedly going on a snake hunt today.
Most probably going to catch one quickly and keep it in my pretty loo.
Will dress her up for parties, Easter and Halloween too.
I plan to name her Sharky, she will be excited to be mine.
She will become my muse, my sidekick and my slithering sage.
She’ll snake around our Christmas tree delighted, dressed so fine.
I will keep her ‘til we both die of ugliness or old age....

If only my thoughts could filter the summer breeze
to places that many could see
then I could start the words for the wind to carry away
maybe for someone to catch one day
If only my actions could travel like the leaves have been blown
to places to many left unknown
the mystery would reveal the true meaning of life
If only one could remember the first kiss of sunshine on the face
then maybe you would want the summer to stay...

you stir my thoughts
like this breeze
caressing me

in the distance
melodious songs
fall from chimes
as the sun slips past
the edges of western skies

just beyond view
on the other side
of waking dreams

you lie there
in the reflection
of a million stars
raining down on me

my lips whisper
of silent kisses
amidst these starry skies
in hopes that you
may catch one
as it falls
in the midst
of this december night...

The night calmly come
This erratic weather 
Rarely that I glimpse
Any stars and the moon
Although like a peeping mode
Over the sky above I can see
The flickering golden fleece
Trying to hover me
I suddenly catch one
But the flicker so tender
Aloft wave goodbye
Alas, what have I done 
To cause me alone in big trouble
I remember God,  seek out His guide
The next day  night…
Again the golden fleece come
This time a hundred twinkle amusing me!...

all i want
is to be the best i can be
to accomplish every goal i set
to live every dream and fantasy i create
to reach for the stars
and catch one
to survive every struggle and fight without a scratch
to say that i did, i have, it was great
and not would have, could have, should have
to not have regrets or doubts
to live freely and wholly
but i can't if these people and these things
keep stopping me from being who i want to be
and from getting to where i want to be...
