(The Little Fish)
I am the
Little Fish
Swimming in my pond
Swimming is my delight
Exploring my pond
Seems there is always new
Sights daily to see
I am the
Little Fish
Swimming in my pond
I swim from morn to night
No bell on my tail
People come, watch me swim
Wink and wave for them

My poem is exactly 55 words with NO TITLE. The title, "The Little Fish" is three words in parentheses to me means "do not count words for this."
That's just delightful, Jim!
ReplyDeleteA delightful song of the little fish.. I like the touch of it having no bell on its tail.
ReplyDeleteI like the no bell and the wink and wave.
ReplyDeleteI like this confident, happy little fish, Jim
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful delightful little fish... the not having it's bell makes me think there is some freedom even if it's confined to the pond.
ReplyDeleteA little fish can still exact attention of others perhaps because of colorful hues.
