Gone Fishing

a flash of silver
dangles from my fishing rod 
grilled trout for tea

A striking image and the possibility of a tasty healthy meal. I love fishing, though many times I've gone back home empty handed!! Hugs // paul

We have never tried fishing but one of hubbies colleagues used to give us some of the trout her hubby used to catch, he was a prolific fisherman!:-) hugs jan x

not sure how appetizing grilled trout is to me (i'd prefer a nice piece of cake or a cookie with my tea!) but i love the poem, jan...

Yes I definitely prefer cake or a biscuit with a cuppa ( we call our evening meal tea not dinner and that sometimes is confusing):-) hugs jan xx
