The Fish

Contributed by olddarkme on Thursday, 9th January 2003 @ 08:20:00 AM in AEST
Topic: HumorPoetry



Across the lake I started to look and with
nervous hope I baited my hook. A ripple I
spotted gave me a sign and in that direction
I cast out my line.

I waited for news with a smirk and great
zeal and was rewarded for it with a tug on
my reel. The fish flashed his size, "A
five footer I thought. He'd look great on
my wall if he ended up caught."

So I played with the fish as day passed into
night but he wouldn't go down no matter how
tough the fight. Finally I left it where it
had been. The fish won this round but he'd
see me again.

This poem has a great rhyme-scheme, yet you've written it out of line/stanza form. Which actually adds to the feeling of this being a story as well. Interesting approach, nice poem.

Dear Olddarkme @-<<
*Ahh-hum* Don't you fishermen always have a five footer??? Ha! Maybe it was a log!
Great Write:)
