Gone Fishing

Gon’ fish today Dog days drawn’ near As Ajay -- trout’s In open air, Sitting on the bank without a care… It rains at last I see bass – must Caste in my lines; Hooks are fine -- bet I‘ll, catch enough big mouthed bass for supper, yet YA DU Form: Each stanza - there should not be more than three of them - has 5 lines, of which the first four have 4 syllables each, and the last can have 5, 7, 9 or 11. The last two lines rhyme in the conventional way. There is climbing rhyme in syllables 4, 3 and 2 of the first 3 lines

I went fishing again the other day. I hadn't gone for a while. People fish at Coney Island and at Canarsie Pier in Brooklyn. Thanks for reminding me of when I went fishing with my father in Vermont(many years ago) Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
