Fish Tails

Fish Tails

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Sitting here in rhythm�s rhyme
What bait to use to snare
What size hook will do the job
So many to compare
Fitting spaces into time
Or backhand cutting lob
Splitting places walls to climb
With faster graying hair
Harder now to weave and bob
Timing�s on a tear
Icy teary blue eyes rime
Hang it all
The rig�s too small
For a longer
Stronger
Line
One has to cut it fine
Like one sweet corn
Or two carbuncle
Slice it now and
Bob�s y� r uncle

I'm not much of a fisher, so some of the terms you used were unfamiliar to me. I liked the way your poem flowed, though. Your light rhyming was good too. Very nice work.
