This is awesome. HAS to be the winner!!! I love it. That's exactly what it's like, 'reeling it in', sometimes though, it still slips the hook! Great entry!!! Blessings....

Thanks for the awesome review. It's one I hopped out of bed to write. Lol

I like the sense of this. The memories are all still there if only one could lay one's hands on them when needed. They seem perfectly able to pop up when not required, but not necessarily on demand! Splendid picture to go with your short poem.

Excellent. Very lovely and true writing. Old people are full of memories if one will take the time to listen. The artwork is appropriate for your poem. I didn't spot any errors.

Oh, I like this 3-line poem for many reasons:
â?¢ your pairing of poem with artwork
â?¢ your double layers of meaning. Literally we see an old man trying to remember something; figuratively we see a fisherman "reeling in" his catch.
â?¢ a wonderful choice of verbs in "fights" creates such a sharp word picture.
â?¢your subtle use of alliteration
An excellent entry to this contest which should do very well. Good luck.

Dear Dallas, I like this one. Especially the last line. It does indeed feel like we are reeling in the memories from time to time.
Great punch of imagery between the lines. Good luck in the contest my friend.
Thanks for sharing.

NICE GOING!!! This poem made me smile, thanks. It's very difficult to write something substantive in a short format like this one, but you did that successfully with this very entertaining read. Really nice job, keep up the good work.

A very well-written three line poem. The fish fight to get loose but the old man reels it in to make his quota of fish for the day.
