Author of a sonnet

[Susan Heinis <sheinis@WESTEX.ORG>]

Does this sonnet sound familiar to anyone?  Our English teacher received it
from a student and believes that it was copied out of a Prentice Hall
textbook but she hasn't located it.
TIA

As I sit down by the silent creek
The ripples of the water run by my feet
I place the bait on the fishing hook
Slowly waiting for my prey to come
I sense the darkness when the prey is coming nearer
Waiting for that fish to take the dive
As I feel the line pulling tighter and tighter
I finally pull my real in
I lift up this creature looking at me
flipping and flopping trying to get free
I feel the sadness that sweeps upon this creatures eyes
Adn I feel the pain and his sorrow
Because he won't have the chance to see tomorrow
I unhook his mouth and let the creature swim free.
