			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know how many of you know this, but Matt and I love sharing poetry, whether we write it to each other or whether we find a poem and share it.  Sometimes our days or so busy that we don&#8217;t find the time&#8230;but we definitely are making an effort to change that and we will be sharing our love of &#8220;poetry&#8221; with you as well.  I hope it brings you as much pleasure as it does us.</p>
<p>This poem I found and changed slightly for Matt.  He loves fishing and his favorite fish is a Snook.  I wish I could tell you the author&#8217;s name.</p>
<p>The sun sets over a water just enough<br />
to observe the magnificence of the day.<br />
The evening is cool but not cold,<br />
and the air is still.<br />
If there is perfection in life,<br />
it comes when sitting on a glassy surface<br />
with senses high and expectations great.<br />
How could it be better?</p>
<p>The enticing shrimp with long dancing legs <br />
Moves gracefully just under the surface<br />
The only disturbance on the water<br />
is a small wake generated by the line<br />
as it cuts a thin trail through<br />
the roof of the home of the ever elusive Mr. Snook.<br />
Each cast of the reel is accompanied<br />
by anxious anticipation.</p>
<p>Even though expectations are high<br />
The explosive strike comes as a surprise.<br />
How could such violence not be startling?<br />
The adrenaline flow offers an immediate rush,<br />
and only the quick reaction of the angler<br />
connects the two in a test of<br />
power against skill.<br />
The fight is on.</p>
