The Fisherman of Alabama

by Rachel Dynkin



Alone out on the river
Just me and this here hook
The water shines like silver
A quiet peaceful brook.

Then suddenly my hand shakes
This fish must weigh a ton
The old rod nearly breaks
As the spinning reel is spun.

I crouch down on the grass
Hands clasped around my kill
A scaly silver bass
Its gasping through its gill

I walk into the sunset
Basking in my glory
My clothing freshly wet
I put away my quarry

And as I drive away
I take just one more look
I cannot wait a day
To go back to that brook
