AT COUNTRY HARBOUR, NOVA SCOTIA poem
by Richard L. Provencher

At Country Harbour, Nova Scotia

A mackerel silver lure, red plastic
surrounding treble hooks

background, an ocean
pounding Atlantic's shore, seagulls
as kites, windy
nudges feathery in flight

fishermen of all ages sitting
on a new concrete wharf
tested
by tidal movement
six hours in, six hours out

staccato of an outboard trolling
for supper, loons
playful in sea spray

people watching, joking
comparing
a collage of activity, fishermen
continue casting, jigging
lines, reeling one in.
