Fishing

by Hayden Hammons

I throw out into the water
The line softly buzzing as it lets out the lore
I hold the reel in one hand and the pole in other
The pole moves swiftly up and down
The lure moves closer and closer
As it gets closer I feel a tug
I yank the pole and the fish summer-salts in the air
It fights, going left then right
Finally I capture the fish and let it go.
