It's the bacon

On the bayou,

I take my BLT

with mayo,

my bait and tackle;

I dab the water

at my fishing hole

looking for

nibbles, tremors,

my knee

propping up

the pole.

the catfish have

such good smell,

I see two circling

the water below,

making swells.

It's the bacon

above they smell,

I know.

Not surprised the fish are tempted by the bacon. Nothing like a bacon butty or a BLT sammich. Great start to a day. Fish think so too. Nice little write here Maxwell. All good wishes

On this cold morning of 25 you just took me on a child hood delight. Eating on the waters shore dodging the sun while shopping for supper.
I loved it.

Bacon, temptation for us and maybe the fish? BLT are my favorite and thank you Maxwell for sharing the amazing poetry.
