The Fish by Elizabeth Bishop
In this poem Elizabeth Bishop uses great description. She talks of catching a fish, and not just any fish but a fish that had been caught many times and let lose. This fish did not fight because it already knew what was happening. She describes this fish so wonderfully. From her description you can get that it is an old fish, kind of beatin up. She decribes that in his lip are still hooks from where the fishing line has broken before many times, and now it seems that the fish has just given up. At the end of the poem though she lets the fish go, a happy ending to this poem.
