Notes About The Poem

For the One Couple of Days Contest of Charles Messina

One Couple of Days - OBD

One couple of days, I was hunting for fish
out in the woods where the corn is delish.
Shot the corn with my arrow; it started to flee.
I guess that means no fish fry for me.

Those fish are so pretty up in the sky.
When I aim my gun, the arrow goes high.
I can’t even hit the corn on the cloud,
and those fish I keep missing sure need to be ploughed!

A judicious mixture of hilarity and sheer craft in terms of rhyming scheme, plot development and imagery. A personal favourite of mine. Best wishes for the contest Howard
