Nice easy going poem, made me feel like I was in that boat floating down the river. Could have floated for hours, days; just kept on floating. It has somewhat of a hypnotic effect?
Nice work.

I think this is a good entry for the Happy Place writing prompt.
This well rhymed verse tells of going fishing for a day. This is my happy place too.
Nicely done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

You have written a piece that flows quite well. The reader is taken along on your fishing trip. This reminded me of time my late husband and I used to spend with my in - laws. I miss fishing. Also, the artwork that you chose went beautifully with your piece.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Gone Fishin, with the idea of an 'all-day pass' has a neat message of getting away and enjoying the quiet, relaxing commune with nature.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I have been fishing and I was bored to tears but many people love it and the peace and quiet is the best thing about a day out fishing, your short lines made it sound more exciting, love Dolly x

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about a man's happy place on the lake waiting for the fish to take the bait all day long. The wait is long before the fish finally is cast in, but it is a hard working man's paradise.

The speaker of this poem will put envy in the hearts of many readers. The image described is seductive. There is a touch of allusion here too with some of the wording. The reader is invited to take a float down memory lane. This is very good. I'm voting for this.

Comment from Cynthia Adams1
I liked your relaxing, "don't take myself too seriously" poem on fishing.
The short lines were a plus. It was like you wanted to get the poem done quickly so you could go back to fishing. :)
I like "sunflowers wave" particularly.
"All-day pass" is a good way to start and end...like a respite from the work of life.
Very nice.

I can see this happy place through your words. Your illustration, of course, pairs perfectly. Your closing lines say it all, "Gone fishin' it's a gas with your private all-day pass." Nicely done.
