Yes Carolyne nothing like squashing a frog or two in the local pond. You will soon be ready for mud wrestling.

I suppose some force takes over Ciel perhaps one finds oneself after losing it in others.

Re: Re: "I am young again..."
I know... I felt at 30 that everything was set, the rest was just running out the clock. I felt younger at 45, when some things had, in fact, changed. Maybe that's what makes poets.

I don't think boys were allowed to woo girls at that age Justi. Girls were more likely to give one a kick on the shins.

Re:Pat
In the Carp pools they have names for the most famous Carp. such as 'Billy boy' or
'Old Grisly' They are very hard to catch, they do not like being weighed and photographed .
I guess they must be quite old in fish years.

Re:
Monks used to keep them in pools as a source of food FS. They can stand conditions that other freshwater fish would not tolerate.

That was a big carp that he caught there. I am not sure how much the largest fish I caught weighed. Striped bass (Rock Fish) can get pretty huge...That is how the seasons go.

I'll have to look up celantines! And I can remember - at sixteen it's easy to feel young again! Oh, and flomps are aircraft, of course...

Oh, my - I love the spring flower poems... And the photo.
As for the carp, they look pretty in the swim, but I don't want to eat one.

Neat post. I, like TAPS, need to google the flower. You sounded old for sixteen, you were already wowing the girls.

"I am young again..."
You say you were 16 when you wrote that...?
Celandine looks like it might be a relative of what we call Buttercups over here.
