postcard: Glasgow
poem: Eloise Greenfield (1988) - To catch a fish

It takes more than a wish
to catch a fish
you take the hook
you add the bait
you concentrate
and then you wait
you wait     you wait
but not a bite
the fish don’t have
an appetite
so tell them what
good bait you’ve got
and how your bait
can hit the spot
this works a whole
lot better than
a wish
if you really
want to catch
a fish

This was a free postcard I received when I bought a print from Glasgow-based illustrator, designer and architect David Fleck.

The poem went to the wonderful Water of Leith Conservation Trust, where I volunteer. The charity works tirelessly to conserve, clean and promote Edinburgh's main river. The fish population in it is healthy, but it's now catch-and-release only; from April to September, if you get a (free!) permit.

NaPoWriMo - my version of it; sending a postcard-poem each day of November. Here is the how.
