The picture was perfect. It brought make so many fond memories, I couldn't wait to read the story.
Each stanza was grand- my favorite liens: "A wily foe who'd nibble bait,"
Job well done!
Best of luck with the Story Poem writing prompt contest.

Hello, my friend. This is a winner! I loved it. I think it will do well in the story in a poem contest. It read easily and flowed well. The rhyme scheme is good too. Great presentation. Well done.

Comment from GE Parson
I would have given this big fish story a six except Iv used them all up. I realy like your big fish story. Some times when plans are made to catch a specisl fish, theb when it's caught, You get to feeling sorry for the critter and let it go back.

Comment from Susan X Smith
This is a charming poem about two kids who decide to take a break from school to go fishing. I read with interest, expecting to hear that they had captured a big one. I was surprised to read that they let the fish go, but it made the ending very upbeat.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Writer,
I enjoyed this post very much! *smile* It was fun and witty and highly entertaining. And it told a wonderful story of young love (perhaps?) and the joys of fishing.
A couple of tiny notes, if I may?
--> hook and leave it clean.
.
"Today's the day!
--> remove that floating period?
--> "(I)t's him!" I yelled as Stevie cheered.
I think this is the best entry I have read so far. Thanks and good luck!
