Pick a line and like a Hooked Fish run with it.

Take it anywhere you choose, shake your head….spit that hook….

     1. I wasn’t sure what it was he said but it meant a lot to me.

2. She questioned my “manhood”.  I told her “my eyes are up here”.

3. The gathered outside my house….

4. I can’t believe I thought that.

I value what I refer to as a “gotcha” line, clean line breaks, subtle metaphor, and unforced alliteration…..but then again…it’s your fish….play it any way you want…just land it.

Any form is acceptable.
