Fishing Hole

Glimmer, shimmer, shine,
Sun reflects on infinite blue.
Ker plunk, splish splash,
Fishing line hits water.

Crisp, cool wind lashes my face,
As I chatter with my friends.
Approval glows from my dad,
As I catch fish after fish.

At the end of the day,
I am the winner.
Catcher of the most fish.
Fisher of the most catch.

I smile wider than a ruler,
Full of young bumptious pride,
Sunlight glinting and glittering
Off the surface of my smug eyes.

The fathomless, indigo water
Reflects my boundless glee.





The sparkling lake garnishes dreams.

Thanks. I actually hate fishing, too. I detest watching the fish suffocate while they flop on land and I can't stand taking out the hook from the poor little fish's bloody mouth. However, I loved fishing when I was little and I wanted to captured the innocence and bliss of childhood. Thanks so much for your feedback and sorry for the rambling reply. :)

I really hate fishing, haha, but you actually made it sound like fun. That's a pretty cool thing to do.
