** Fishing Sonnet **
 * Here is our [[file:period4-poems-2012.pdf]] for this year! **

Dreary are my eyes in the descended clouds Though retreating from battle, they lash with cold, As heroic warm rays stream down radiant and loud And out they cast, less than I, do I behold

Across the vast mirror of ripples I glance While I strum some tune with the line on my spool From trees an elusive deer comes, on the horizon’s expanse And all this taste of nature glistens like a gem or jewel

Nearby, a splash announces some fish’s meal For hardly a moment his scales shine and reflect But he quickly dives back again, and slowly I reel In gentle hope that he would not neglect

Not a bite, not a tug, but a nibble is felt As the angry wind stirs, I wait for a blow to be dealt
