Gone Fishing

Burbling brooks
Small fish hooks
A rod goes thwip
With subtle whip
the float will drop
soft gentle plop
Tick, tock, tick
Patience the trick
A mighty thwap
The line goes snap
Wind with zeal
The whirring reel
Splish, splash, splosh
Oh my gosh
That's one big fish
Fit for a dish

Nice work, Terry. Your use of the required onomatapoetic words makes it come alive.

I tested myself with this one to see how short a verse I could write and still fit in the required 10 words
