A Day In the Shade--Zeugma
She stole a moment, and a book
to linger in the cool of trees
where not a soul would think to look.
She stole a moment, and a book
and sat beside the flowing brook
where birds were cooing with the breeze.
She stole a moment and a book,
to linger in the cool of trees
With baited breath and hook she smiled,
and with her pole, she caught a trout
The blue sky darkened for awhile
With baited breath and hook she smiled
as raindrops sprinkled all about
With baited breath and hook she smiled
and with her pole she caught a trout
Unleashing joy, and then a fish
she let it go, and watched it swim
It swam away, as was her wish
She let it go and watched it swim
Releasing it was just a whim,
unleashing joy, and then a fish.
She let it go, and watched it swim
