Loved the description and language used in this to portray the walking in a stream I assume..very well written and I could almost imagine my own soggy feet as I was reading it haha. Well done.

This is an excellent poem on shoes. I like your descriptions of the Converse shoes and how you are splashing through the water running after trout in hopes of catching one. This is very well done. I love the photo from Google you found for this piece.
Thanks for sharing and keep on splashing through the water in search of trout.
Jesse

That's true dedication! I have gotten soaked while on a walk but never by choice. But I guess fishermen are willing to face cold and rain to catch that one big one. Hope you did!

The poem flows well. The images are crisp. The "shoes" event has been well covered. The free form works well for the less stylized every day subject.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm a fair weather fisherman and really like fishing from a boat or along the seashore. But...I can certainly appreciate you "Fishing Dream".

Well done.
Blessings

Your vivid use of words captures the feel of being out in nature. The reader can feel the wet shoes as the quest for a trout goes on. Excellent free verse form that takes the reader away to a peaceful place.

This is a great poem. I have to say that getting your shoes wet is well worth the pursuit of that elusive fish. Fishing can be addictive. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent. It won't be long now! April 1st here. The Stone Flies are in hibernation and the streamers are just itching for expression. Nothing like a Native Brown to kick off the new spring. Nice write!

This is a great poem for the entry into the Free Verse contest, topic "shoes". Your imagery is perfect. Even without the picture I can feel those wet, soggy socks inside the soaked shoes. Well done.
