John Lawless Poet Free verse

The Fish Know I'M Coming

The fish know I’m coming

Turtles line the logs
Swans parade in pre-game frenzy
Geese honk from the cheep seats
Muskrat groundskeepers tend the “field”
Bullfrog-voiced announcers “harrumph” the goings on
Dragonfly vendors work the crowd

The fish know I’m coming

The game is on…….

Chris Green June 13, 2017 at 7:33 AM Very cool John. I like the set up in this and how you have created a sporting event featuring natures creatures in the key roles as you stroll up to the bank ready to cast.
