The found poem here, is created using the words form “The river, The Bass, and Sheila Mant” by W.D. Wetherell. For the conflict of “The river, The Bass, and Sheila Mant” is a character vs self. The character is the boy, and he wants to go out with Sheila so he asks her. She said yes, and the boy convinced her to go by canoe. Then his muscle memory just took over and put the fishing rod on to the canoe without really knowing it. When Sheila came, he pushed the canoe into the water and she climbed on, but in the middle of the lake, Sheila said she thought fishing was dumb. Then a largemouth bass took the bait, he knew that the fish was a big one, and he really wanted to catch it. Then he remembered Sheila Mant said that she hated fishing, so he hid his rod and hoping that the fish will calm down. Suddenly Sheila asked him why is the boat going backward, the boy lied it’s the current. Then he padded toward the shore, their destination. To get to the shore, they will need to cross a shallow area, but surprisingly, after they have gone through, the bass is still on! Then he made up his mind, girl or fish, he chose girl. He hesitated then cuts the line and let the fish go free.
