Another really nice carp from my recent canal session.

This fell to Nash Scopex, fished in a solid bag about half way across.

Have you caught anything this weekend? 🎣

Another nice autumn/winter canal carp slipped over the net this past weekend.

Were you out fishing? Let me know if you caught anything and where you were.

2/2 And here is #OnTheBank, the first poem in #DownRiverWithLiPo. @blackcatpress.bsky.social

On the bank Face pressed against the porous willow weave of time I watch Li Po write. Threads of rice paper dangle from the parchment on his lap robed in soft white rabbit skin. Boar bristle brush in one hand, wine cup in the other, he gives voice to a crane flying over marshland, a shadow cast by a friend’s goodbye, a city’s swollen streets. But it is the moonlight he most adores. When she shines on him, he toasts her or raises his sword to defend her honor. She is the unspoken beauty he floats down the Yangzi River to follow; the one who sings in his heart. I close my eyes to listen. Snow falls.
