Rosy red, his cheeks said As good cheer he spread Laughter, like a merry kiss Touched hearts with bliss Fish in every variety caught Delicious nutrition he brought So that every mouth watered For the delicacies he slaughtered Rosy red, his cheeks burned With joy we never learned His smile, catching as a cold Reminded his heart was gold Fish, all different tastes, flavors Brought to tummies, savors Yummy delights that once splashed In the sea before his knife slashed… Away the fins, the gills, the frills A fish to flaunt the fisherman’s skills A Jolly Fisherman Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward August 16, 2022

Truly a jolly guy Gina. With skills other than fishing, he also is skilled for bringing smiles and tasty nutrition. A great entry! Linda

Cute verse, Gina. I like that she is wanting it to be for children this time. I hope to make somewhat of a nursery rhyme of it.

Nice poem, Gina. I haven't checked out Julia's latest contest, but I'm guessing it's about fishing. Good luck to you!
