Are There Fish In the Sky?

*In some sort of way, this is what started it everything @.@ I mean, my actual style, along with other poems that I wrote before; enjoy, and thanks for reading the product of my voluntary pushes into schizophrenia C=* Are there fish in the sky? My ideas asked once While they drank in the sink Falling over my shoulders Such questions produce fatigue As I inhaled fresh transparence With no blue still around Thought about bubbles Being turned into clouds No need of green smoke To answer this doubt The music draws unreality Pictures, footsteps of a child Play with my mind Nail your hands on it and open Just to dig up a flash They suddenly pop out Breaking free With the light Such a surprise Yet my ideas dance As if they knew What used to be breathed Is now a liquid brick A dense one, indeed The question expires Fades with a sneeze As I come back here Perhaps an all day dream Effects of the morning mist Although…I look up Just to perceive a shadow Swimming upstream Towards the sun [Why not?]

Your imagination soars and make one stop to think. I smiled while reading this and felt your gentle step from reality here. Reads like a dream.

You seem to glide in some space in some undefineable space between confusion, enlightenment, and wonder...I like the structureless quality of the content...the shifting shape method of your poetry is a alluring style I myself am gravitated towards...

When you wake in the morning at sea, watching the fish swim is one of the most serene things I can recall. Imagining them swimming into the sky is not difficult when the sea and sky meet on the horizon. Beautiful poem, Cesar! Love, Carolyn

Yes, they are called Pices. Loved your original take on this perplexing notion. Queer things happen everyday if we stop long enough to notice them. Great imagery and diction-AA

Cool idea. I wouldn't be discouraged if what you find in your mind doesn't fit the traditional bill nature and physics force on us. The mind works very differently, as you already know. -Yoni
