[bodytext] => Where the river runs into the Chesapeake Bay. The currents run strong and they say "Beware". Many a man has ignored it and sunk to his doom. On white capped waters beneath a crystal blue sky where a thousand men live by the tide, one boy drifts and awaits the return of the moon. In a tiny row boat with a four horse Merc. He braves the bay to where the Rockfish lurk. Gonna catch him a big one and prove to his Dad he's a man. When the waters went still and the wind began. He was too young to know the mess he was in. He never turned back when the bay started yelling it's name. The boat pitched forward and rocked to the back. Waves so high that the sky went black but the boy stayed steady and never showed any fear. A white Bucktail on ten pound test, he dropped the line off the side and grabbed a life vest. He held on tight to his rod as the storm drew near. Thunder clapped and the sky lit up. The boy got excited when his rod gave a tug. He never noticed the water that was filling his boat. He started reeling with all of his might when the angry old bay joined in on the fight. Against a boy no longer, a fight against a full grown man. When the storm passed by and the sky turned blue. A boat on the beach with a small red shoe and the biggest Rockfish ever landed in the Chesapeake Bay. In a tiny row boat with a four horse Merc. A boy braved the bay to where the Rockfish lurk and lived to tell his story over and over again. applethoughtrotten PLEASE: To help keep this site INTERACTIVE, please read and comment on at least 3 poems for each one you submit.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
