Yes, speaks out on a child's love for play.
Rich in Theme and Imagery it also, read well and flowed well with No Grammar Issues.

You not only caught the scene with this poem but the atmosphere. I could feel the loneliness and the loss of not catching anything. That could be a problem with one's livelihood. Thank you for sharing.

I like your chinquapin poem- good picture presentation- empty boat full of dusk-nice- suggestions? Gentle break waves- without ' the' in there- maybe " gently as? Flows better ? Ending in - without fish - in line with full of dusk - good job AP

The use of the word "wake" is wonderful, amidst the dark background some days just do not favor the fishermen, an excellent Cinquain, very well written and presented****kahpot

I like all your W-alliteration words and how the "wake" waves have that sad feel because the other meaning of "wake" as the fishermen didn't catch anything!

    Yes, it's sad when fisherman don't catch fish and have to go home empty handed. I guess that kind of job has its pros and cons ... as with all the others. I think the smell of fish on his body would bother me but it depends how cute he was LoL

    Thank you for your kind review, Big Sister. Love you.

A most evocative poem, Gypsy. You have an uncanny knack of capturing a scene and its atmosphere in just a few words. Lovely.
The fisherman's livelihood can be a precarious one.
