This is descriptive reverie about fishing that is quite entertaining. Your love of the sport, in fresh water, comes through loud and clear and the picture of you casting your line into the waters pops easily into ones mind as you set up the imagery. Good luck. Well done

I haven't been fishing in decades but I used to love it. Your happiness at the angling engagement is obvious all through your couplets. I really like the fish in the picture...might be hand blown, but I'm not sure.

You did answer the fishy challenge successfully. I think your format seems to be regularly in couplets so you might call yours a blank verse. Your last couplet could be rearranged to a rhyming quatrain.

This is a very nice and well written poem about the fish you like to catch. You used very good descriptive words and very lovely imagery from the pretty art work you chose. I love that picture of the fish! Thanks for sharing. love and blessings, Teri

This poem was just plain FUN to read.
I am glad that people out there are still willing to reveal wee. Bits of themselves. Rhymes are simple, and for me not trying to be too cute. Rhythm flows just fine.
Bravo to the author!

In my opinion, a charming write in its depiction of simple pleasure and sheer delight. While there are just a couple of uneven spots that break the smooth rhyme, they did not detract from the winning appeal of the poem...

Hi JLR. This is very nice. I like the image, too, of fused glass which is stunning. Your couplets rhyme, although it is stated as free verse which means occasional rhyme, and the theme is your love of fishing. My only suggestion would be to replace at least one of the three, "you see" with something else. Otherwise no changes. Marilyn

Funny a true fish lover. I must admit the only fish i can recognize as the salmon and tuna. Thank you for sharing this delightful poem. Thank you for sharing.

Aww, the fish in your photo looks way too gorgeous to catch! I've never been fishing myself, but your poem really set me in the mindset for it! Best of luck!

There sure is a HECK of a lot of end rhyme in this to be part of a Free Verse Challenge. In fact, it seems more like Rhymed Verse in couplets to me. Thanks for sharing.
