Mark Toney Poet Footle

Notes About The Poem

11/30/2024

Below is a stream of 16 footles, separate and distinct, with their own titles in bold font. To make it more fun, I also try to have the second line have a similar sound as the first line. Even the poem's title, "Footle Fishing," is a Footle! ;-)
