He was buried, at his request
in his well worn fishin vest
with his favorite lures pinned on
as badges for his many conquests.

He'd fished this lake since he was a boy
his father taught him the tricks to employ
"Are ya gonna use worms? Or that orange popper?
and please be quiet, just enjoy."

Now as before he was there gazin, deluded, at his reflection
diagnosed, "We didn't catch it in time" the inflection
he wanted to know, recall the joy once felt, but
ready to toss his gear in a final act, a state of dejection

Not quite ready yet, he sat and touched
spinners, fake minnows, feathered flies were brushed
but felt generous too and brought night crawlers
tossed a line with no hook, escaped the feelin of crushed

"Today I will not take you away
I will not catch and cook your fillets
I will feed you these fat wigglers, fresh dug
and pray you live to see another day."

Very nice, I did enjoy it, I like that i got to laugh at the end. Good job Texas, It tells a rather nice story. I'm glad i was able to trigger something good for you to write.

The most important person in my life is my Grandad, this is for a variety of different reasons.
His dress sense is always interesting; he wears quirky but appauling outfits. Whenever I see him he reminds me of a hobit. This is because of his oversized clothes choices.
My Grandad typically wears a chalky white cotton vest, which tiny wispy threads tend to dangle off; extremly baggy, beige coloured trousers; a cosy, comfortable cardigan in chocolate brown tones; well worn slipper boots textured with complicated winter snowflake patterns in baby blue and thick, woolie woman's bed socks, soft to the touch completed with crazy, whacky colours such as illuminous neon pink and plum purple

From first glances and impressions, my Grandad always without fail has an ultra-unique smile. An ear to ear grin with pleasant parly white teeth (fake of course). Anybody could easily mistake him for George Clooney.
Greeting new people and family members with arms sprawled open wide, like a speedy snappy venus fly trap in the freenest, tropical amazon!

My Grandad has many hobbies beyond belief! He adores meeting new aquaintences on holiday. In his busy hometown Blackpool, not a single person he walks past is unfamiliar. Typically my Grandad enjoys crosswords; Deal or no deal and long gentle strolls on the local promenade- this is usually accompanied with scrumptious fish, caught fresh from the clear, sapphire blue depths of the oceans followed by a crispy, golden layer of batter and soft, mouth watering potato chips topped p with crystal sea salt, well-grounded pepper corns, vinegar, and the classic favourite: Heinz ketchup sachets.

Sunday nights tend to tingle my Grandads mixed emotions as fortunate and unfortunate events happen. Sunday roast dinners are the main highlights of them.
The meal often includes: Luxurious, well cooked roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings delivered with a delicious, crispy edge, volumptious, juicy meat cooked in homemade, splendid onion gracy and plump, steamed brussel sprouts.
Unfortunatly I have to depart for goodbyes with my dear Grandad and leave back to the cheerful countryside in Cheshire.

My Grandad has been with me from birth, through painful operations and tropical holidays. I completley repect this man; he has supported all my life descions.

So if you see that preppy, cheerful hobit walking down the North-West streets full of delightful qualities, it will probably, without a single doubt be my lovely Grandad.

It got given an A, but I just wanted to see what you guys think.
10 points, thankyou x

Teachers take a lot of different factors into grading
What was the prompt?
They must have been grading more on just structure and grammar
Also, what grade is this for, and for what class?
Many different things factor into the grading process

Fly Fishing Basics | Part 2

In part 1 of this short fly fishing basics series, Tim Gaunt-Baker talked about the synergy between the rod and the line; the meaning of the markings on the rod as well as the double taper and weight forward lines.

As a fly fishing beginner, the best line to start with is a weight forward line that matches your rod. Note, you must ensure you get a well balanced rod.

In this, part 2 of Fly Fishing Basics, Tim demonstrates both the correct way and the incorrect way of performing the roll cast and the overhead cast, the two building blocks of fly fishing.
