Akkina Downing Poet Sonnet

Gone Fishing Montauk

It's the weekend and time to decompress 
Hopped on the boat and out to sea I went
Gone fishing out of Montauk New York
In the Atlantic Ocean 

With just perfect wind and right tide 
And beautiful sunshine 
A fabulous feeling spread thru me
I knew it was gonna be a great day at sea

Her lady boat is flying like a race horse 
Taking me away from land 
Leaving all my worries and stress behind 
Only looking forward to catch that one big fish 

No disappointment there 
I arrived at the right home of big fish 

       Smile
