Ray Dillard Poet Rhyme

Catch a Big'Un

If yer one and only wish is to catch one really big fish,
Then ya need ta stop bait'n fer minners.
If you'd read my first book you'd use a big hook,
An'a bait big n'uf fer yer dinners.
It might take ye' awhile, but if fishin's yer style,
Ya might catch 'im with one week 'o fishin'.
It's well worth the wait when a hawg takes yer bait,
An' th' catch is as big as yer wishin'!

Poet Destroyer A February 21, 2013 at 8:31 PM hello, Ray, love your wining poem..pd Ray Dillard February 21, 2013 at 8:51 PM Roy, it was a bit short. You might want to check out my parody of Moby Dick entitled 'The Moby Dick Reunion'. It's much lighter hearted than Melville's book!

Roy Jerden February 21, 2013 at 7:36 PM Congratulations Ray! Great rhyme and meter. I love the regional dialect and the subject. Wish it had been longer! Ray Dillard February 21, 2013 at 8:39 PM Thanks for the recognition, Roy. I appreciate you for sponsoring the contest. I'm sure it's a lot of trouble. RAY

Donna Jones February 7, 2013 at 9:44 AM Wellllllll being a fisherm....woman allllll my life I have caught more fish than I can count and big ones too....many on minners'. And shad....but this is very. Very. Cute!!!!!! Ray Dillard February 7, 2013 at 10:55 AM Too bad I can't show you the pictures of all the big fish we've caught in a lifetime. Forty to sixty pounders were common when I was a child. I wrote about it in my book, " As I Recall". A few souper's have read it and made favorable comments. Give it a try!
