Ode to Fish
June 13, 2012
Swimming around
The tank
Colorful like a
Rainbow
Jumping up to
Catch food
Swimming up and
Down getting some
Air
Rough and slimy
Scales touch the
Glasses
Rough like a
Sandpaper
Fighting for the best
Spot to hide
Gliding through the
Water like an
Airplane
Eating and sucking
On rocks like an
Algae eater
Growing bigger and
Bigger as each year
Passes
Dying and floating
On the edge of the
Surface as they
Grow old
