Minnow Tag
Listen to Janice's poem ...
By a boulder, in silvery slivers
swam some minnows, in the river.
I’d see if I could—give it a crack—
grab a few and toss them back.
I grabbed and I grabbed,
but they fled in a flicker,
like shooting stars
but even quicker.
swam some minnows, in the river.
I’d see if I could—give it a crack—
grab a few and toss them back.
I grabbed and I grabbed,
but they fled in a flicker,
like shooting stars
but even quicker.
