A poem featuring slant rhyme in response to Grace’s request at dVerse.
here strong young trout stir restless in their lair
the chill of current makes them brash and bold
morning hatch has them eager to explode
up through ripples into the morning air
from Spring’s stream so crystal clear, snow melt cold
I walk the bank alert but stay composed
searching for the best stream side view, of where
the chill of current has trout brash and bold
it’s in the brisk slack water big ones hold
ready to strike the tempting air borne fare
as Spring streams run crystal clear, snow melt cold
soon a mountain stream drama will unfold
when a mighty rainbow engulfs its prey
‘cause chill of current made it brash and bold
oh what a mighty wonder to behold
a rainbow breaking water with a flair
when Spring streams run crystal clear, snow melt cold
and chill of current makes trout brash and bold
