Re: Summer at the Beach Shack
Thanks Bob, I enjoyed writing it, good memories.
That was me at six years and exactly as it was. The fishing was amazing, they were forming a queue to jump on your hook in those days. Whiting, herring, tailer, skipjack, pike etc, etc.
Different now, - if you went down to the channel and saw a fish it would be because it was lost.
I had lots of freedom ...... perfect for a boy. (Gave mum a few grey hairs though)

Re: Summer at the Beach Shack
Mate keep it up, poetry is sometimes best written from the heart and you can see that in your writings.
I don't think the kids these days would be game to just take off on thier bikes for a days fishing or catching crawchies in the creeks or perhaps their parents would not be game to let them go.
I know where you are coming from,
Cheers Bob

Re: Summer at the Beach Shack
G'daaay Henry. I really enjoyed your poems. Here's hoping you start 'keeping' a few because they are certainly 'keepers'. Welcome old mate.

Mummsie, Glenny, Bob, - glad you enjoyed it. I was one lucky kid.
Re: Summer at the Beach Shack
Fantastic Henry! You really took me there. Most kids these days really miss out don't they?
Keep them coming Henry!
