Gone Fishin'

Fishing
In the farm pond
Large catch of small bluegills
Toss them back for the small-mouth bass
Feeding

Barbara Peckham July 23, 2021 at 1:33 PM Delightful. And also thoughtful! Short poems can say a lot. I am very fond of cinquains and haiku, although I don't write them often. L Milton Hankins July 23, 2021 at 4:11 PM I like them, Barbara, but I must confess I basically turn to them when my brain is sort of dry! I find they stimulate my muses.
