Best Trout Poems
Tickle TroutIn the cool of the evening he laid there basking
as my fingers touched the gleaming surface of the pool.
Deeper i penetrated till my hand was beneath him,
slowly my fingers engaged his slithery belly,
then gently with a slight single movement
to and thro, then up and...

Little TroutIn the river I saw a little trout
A silver flash amongst river weed.
I watched him swim and dart about
This little fish was fast indeed.
I saw him in shimmering glances
As he shot along the river bed,
Performing his lively dances
Like an arrow, how he sped.
My, this...

The Big Old Rainbow TroutYou pack up all your fishing gear
On the night before
Then you wake up very early
And you head on out the door
You drive when it's still dark outside
And mist is in the air
Sandy-eyed and wide awake
Because you'll soon be there
As you approach...

Branches Hide Dark Troutbranches hide dark trout
swimming beneath truth of light
floating secret lives
in deep wanton quiet pools
verity lives amongst them

though i brought all the gear and
Settled into my comfortable mode
Of tranquil bliss by the edge of the pool
But you being the older wiser trout
Stirred the stillness of the pool
Your proud fin cutting the surface...

Rainbow TroutA Rainbow Trout
I don’t usually go fishing any more
But I went with friends to the lake
They said oh come on and fish a while
It is something to do for heaven’s sake
There was a contest going on
You must pay five dollars to get in
A cash prize...

The Bird, the Frog and the TroutA little bird set on the limb of a tree
chirping and warbling as loud as can be
while down by the pond a little frog set
on a rock by the water all shiny and wet
Said the frog to the bird, I can sing just like you
and...

Sonnet 1 - Sea TroutFast river on my thighs, an act of god.
The soft silvery arc of the sun caught line,
the swish and the wish of the long fly rod,
the singing of the line and the reels whine
and whipping back, line stripped off and out.
Line tightening strike!...

Caught Cold TroutCaught Cold Trout
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
went fishing to catch some cold trout
I only did caught
a cold and wet dot
along came a real walk of clout

Waiting to catch Tommy Trout.
He’ll have to wait a long time though,
