I enjoy fishing, and am lucky to be able to try to catch one when ever I want to, as we live beside a lake.
I wanted to share this unique expierence with you.
Fishies here , fishes there
Fishies swimming every where
Gotta try to catch me one
Cause fishing is so much fun
I cast a line in my favorite nook
Waited for the bait to be took
Suddenly felt a great big tug
My heart began to wildy thud
The pole bent under the weight,
thought the line would surley break
Faster and faster I began to reel
as I fought the fish with nerves of steel
Finally got it to dry land
The site was more than I could stand
A log was at the end of my line
It was large and looked quite fine
As I bent to pick it up,
Something under it moved at my touch
A six pound bass I caught that day
Happily I released it and walked away
Some day soon I'll try once more
as I stand on the beautiful lake's shore.
I like that you let the fish go, too :) This was like walking in your shoes, and having never been a fisherman, that was a nice experience for me. Thanks :)
I love fishing and this reminded me of fishing in Lake Norman. I usually only catch a big one or nothing... I enjoyed this poem.

Mary that reminded me of the time I went fishing in the Conneticut River on the farm during low tide and I was pregnant and got stuck in the mud. How my husband laughed. I looked like a little piggy trying to get unstuck. Thanks for the memories.
MaryGrace, what a wonderful write, kept me excited to the very end. I loved the rhyme & rhythm throughout. The images brought fantastic imaginations to mind. A great write.
