Question: First attempt at an acrostic, let me know if it makes sense !?
Sand too warm by noon
Umber shades of shadow
Rollers now quite low
Foam dancin’ about

Frantic gulls swoopin’ cry
Infernal glare seekin’ my eye
Shufflin’ along sands deep
Headin’ on for the surf
In water standin’ knee high
Nothin’ more relaxin’
Gonna go fishin’

Bobber snatched from sight
Attacked from just below
I’m studyin’, ponderin' the line
Tension now increasin’

Reel whirlin’, blindin’ fast
Only thing to do, hangin’ on
Backin’ up, nothin’ gained
Bait done been stripped
Ever so cleanly, sigh, yet again
Reelin’ in, castin’ one more time!.





Any and all comments and suggestions are, as always, appreciated!.

It works, and makes sense!. Reminds me of FLorida with people fishing all day on the beach, or off the dock!.
Love these lines:

Reelin’ in, castin’ one more time -- Nothin stops a real fisherman!.

I got just a tab bit tired of all the "in's," but I guess that's what mkes it what it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This was just wonderful, the way it starts off with a peaceful high noon beach scenery and a man out fishing in his boat!. Just two questions, was it a shark!? Or does the boat itself get caught on the guy's fishin' line!? I loved the imagery in this, it was breathtaking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You got it,well done!.I love to fish and you had me there!.Doesn't matter whether we catch anything, it is the thrill of trying!.You'll get the next one!.I'll bet it was the biggest fish you nearly caught in your whole life!.Your arms are not big enough to stretch that far!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
