The Lunker

Skies ablaze with auburn rays Horizon foretelling the dawn A turtle strays through a lily pad maze We're the first ones on the pond As we paddle along we're singin' a song For the signs are clear to read If nothin' goes wrong it won't be long The fish'll be startin' to feed We hear the sounds, they're splashin' around On water once still as glass And seven pounds are about to be found In the form of a large mouth bass We start to row fast, the buoys zip past We arrive at the secret spot Then at last the pinpoint cast The Lunker is soon to be caught 3/5/05

Do you mean "the buoys zip past" ? I like your poem, but the mispelling threw me a little...keep going...

The boat hovered nearly above it. An anchor splashed heavily along side. The Bass was going to enjoy this. He would go along for the ride. A line was lowered, loaded with bait. He took it carefully in his jaw, Then swam with it to a sunken log. To teach them Large Mouth law. Around and around the log it swam, Then up to the surface it went. Spit out the hook, but kept the bait. Defeating the fisherman’s intent. Congratulations on your win Joe. YarnSpinner
