Beating the Sunrise
Form: Sonnetina Uno
Theme: Introspective
Subject: Bait box
To rise early and head out to the lake
A fisherman’s plan of action is set
With rods and tackle sat beside the door
His alarm set to beat the rising sun
And in first rays of light he finds his spot
While sitting watching swims gathering in
From ground bait to casting out the first line
The stress of living fades away with ease
As silence waits for the all-telling tug
Fish play catch-me-if-you-can with a bite

How wonderful. Fishing was a passion of my father’s which meant many early mornings and weekends on the lake. I am grateful for the memories. You are welcome.
