The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Big Fish

It seems to me the big fish
is always the one that got away,
the one that escapes the dish
gives the angler the most to say.

I knew a man who caught
the world’s largest line-caught tuna
recalling the battle he fought
makes it seem like just a rumour.


Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 12.20.24
Prompt: Big fish.
