Steelhead Trout by Ben Walden published on 2018-01-24T07:27:34Z Written by Ben Walden ©2017 out in the sun, working on the dam I looked down at the riverbed swirling, twirling with the current there was a two foot steelhead rainbow shining through the muddy water that smells just like the pulp mill he jumped a little and he made a ripple that drifted to the Pacific Chorus: Steelhead trout push up stream spawning in the Spring climb the ladder on the dam won't stop for anything only Death can stop the Steelhead I wonder how many times he's been up the river and I wonder if he'll ever come back again salmon go to die at the headwaters high while the steelhead come on back again on my lunch break I will have a drink and then I'll take a swim feel the minnows nip at my toes and I wonder if they ever come back again chorus; Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
