Spoken Word Poetry: 'Meet Me By The Water'

A contemplative poem by the water, casting thoughts like a make-believe fishing line, exploring memories and life's river bends.

'Meet Me By The Water' is a reflective poem exploring life's journey through the metaphor of fishing.

The speaker casts thoughts like a make-believe fishing line, delving into memories, contemplating solitude, and questioning the course of life's river bends.


Ken LéMarchand, the imaginative mind behind Stained Love Like Egyptian Cotton (2023), embodies a paradox: a self-proclaimed homebody with the spirit of an adventurer, yet harboring the playfulness of a child in an aging vessel.

His academic journey led him to graduate cum laude from Southern New Hampshire University with a Masters in English & Creative Writing. Departing from conventional paths, he embarked on a solitary rebellion against the norms of the publishing industry, carving his unique trail through the enigmatic realms of literature.

In the course of this daring odyssey, he birthed Wandering Metaphors, a creative haven, complemented by a recently introduced literary and artistic sibling magazine.

While envisioning a future as a teacher specializing in muggle studies at Hogwarts, Ken presently imparts the magic of poetry through private lessons, refusing to be confined within institutional boundaries. His boundless passion extends to offering weekly writing wisdom via his engaging blog.
