Cliche Poem " The Raging River with Trout"

A beautiful autumn day

In a late afternoon stream

There is a fish out of water


There he lies… abundant

In flourishing slime from his scales

I release him solemnly

Away he swims faster than a speeding bullet

Here lies a fly

Red, green, with a slight tint of purple

Glimmers down the river

As shiny as a new dime

Oh a bite

I set the hook as quickly as

A hungry man on a Christmas ham

A nice trout

Local of an Alaskan stream

A hint of lemon

I am worthy of his salt

What a wonderful day this is

That trout was truly easy money

Although

You give a man to fish

He will eat for day


Teach a man to fish

He will eat forever

Now the day is old

And I must leave

To give it a rest
