will you read and go fish...c/c?
Outside the screened in porch, a creek ran by. Well, more like a pond that drained time away. The Ambassador was Mom's, but she trusted me with it. Those Ozark mornings were well to wake in, to stumble out over crushed agate, past the croquet circle and tool shed, can of worms in hand.
There was this one spinner, red with twin silver blades, a Mepps, I think. Never could get it to the back of the hole, but close was close enough. I saw the lure in it then. The maybes, swimming past the could be's, as I wish'es lurked below.
Two Guernsey’s, looked through the barb wire, as I measured my summer at The Piney. Paint whinnied, a note of captivity in his throat and snap peas twisted up the fence rows. I never did hear what brought Dad here in 40', but it was Mom who brought us back in 68'.
I'd Love to tell you about the one that got away, but they never did. I caught them all. Without ever wetting my line.
I absolutely concur with synopsis, by 'n' large, though I didn't find the crushed agate, which has much broader usage over here apparently, so connotative. I didn't like "well to wake in" if I'm correct in presuming it means good, which is a much better word. I am good and I am well are near identical, granted, but that's because well, in this context, means "in a good way", so I am good or I am in a good way both work. However, "were good to wake in" is decidedly NOT the same as "were in a good way to wake in"! It just felt uncomfortable/unnatural to me, but rather than artistically, simply erroneously! Could be just me...but, otherwise, wonderful write.
