Notes About The Poem

JUST TWO IN ONE SPREE- Poetry Contest- Sponsored by Nette Onclaud

Memory Of Youth

Trout in sweet water 
Rising up catching fireflies 
The moon hues the waters blue

As I cast my line 
I think back to the old times
Dad and I would fish all day

Love this. It's a man's ideal youth for sure. I am noticing some people doing this with two stanzas each 6 lines. Others like you are doing it as I understood it. One stanza of six lines. I better ask Nette to be sure before I post mine up.
