standing on the bridge
sunny day on the middle fork
i see bottom fish scooping up
remains
while the nimble trout
sip the surface
the edge of their domain
feeding on the edge

Nice one, Elisabeth! The flash and sparkle are there, and the delight of being out in the warm bright day.
Thanks. And the very interesting thing is that I actually wrote it standing on the bridge – sometimes it just comes out with out much struggle – on the note app on my new phone. Never thought I’d be able to do that.
