redd
Q
A
redd
is
a
nest
about
30
cm
deep
that
a
female trout excavates
in
the
gravel
of
a
stream
bed
just
before
spawning.
While
she
digs, males
watch
with
excited
anticipation
, eager
for
a
signal
from
her
to
ejaculate
to
fertilize
the
ova
she
releases
into
the
redd.
In
a
peripherally related
vein
,
the
verb
to
redd
is
used
chiefly
in
Pennsylvia
and
means
to
clean
up
or
tidy
,
especially
an
area
like
a
table
.
It
was
brought
by
immigrants
from
northern England
and
Scotland
,
where
it
is
still
used
.

I've
redd
the
table
in
my
head
where
redds
of
thoughts
and
wishes
store
I
now
have
read
sweet
blather's
red
and
now
new
thoughts
and
wishes
pour
For
once
,
the
world
was
only
blue
like
oceans, skies,
and
eyes
of
you
But
now
the
world
has
different
hues
and
these
I
long
to
long
peruse
So
,
now
I
turn
from
blue's
sunset
and
face
red's
dawn
with
no
regret
With
blue
behind
and
red
before
I'll
sow
my
mind
on
this
new
shore!
