Fishin Lore unrelenting wind fortified, brutally enhanced sleet slice into old mans face. trembling half-felt hands tingling with frozen pain steer for 'membered shore. caught unexpected adrift a fishin one pre-winter day gale surprising, unforecast. boat bucking, trying to spin old man confused, turned 'round praying safety where it twas. hours drift by in struggle strength given out, nearly hope a flicker, a wipe of hand. There, there, please be real faint light almost imagined he guides tword anew. waves crash with icy bath boat bucks like run-away bronc old man desperate to steer true. forever in a single afternoon his old home-made almost there shouting and cries from shore... kin crying and deeply thankful pull grandfather from his beloved bundled, rushed to fire and coffee. bone deep hugs, rubbing of hands old man cheats death once again story retold, lore for generations. ~~~~~  |

Wow, this is so vivid. A very enjoyable read. Almost shivered along and yearned for shelter. Beautifully rendered experience! Margherita |
