Fishing at Cap Lumiere
by Richard L. Provencher

A lobster fleet
licks its way across
Northumberland Strait
like smudges
under an Atlantic sky
crew bragging too soon,
made-in-China
mackinaws moist
in morning dew,
stench of herring bait
a sure lure:
slatted traps parading
as footprints on ocean's
bottom, a home
for canners & markets
protruding eyes,
claws groping.

Richard L. Provencher

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
