Colorful Wonder

Cascade of colors swirls in a fishy maze, a tank of topicals swim the watery haze; as a plastic diver opens his treasure, what's inside is strictly his pleasure. Tetra's dream of tasty bites Swordtails dine to their delight; albino Catfish sweeps the gravel, as bright corals do bedazzle. As bright guppies wiggle, wriggle and Goldfish's fins flow in a jiggle; a black Molly races by the snails, as a tiny crab scurries up the ship's sail. It's a color-wonderland behind the glass; flowing in and out of the guppy grass.

A fav for me. Utter beauty in the verses. I am so impressed.))))))) I think it reflects your soul and respect for life. ALL that we love takes time and care…A PC is far from lovable and is nonhuman at all. A Fish is Gods creature and His treasure. Pangie.xxxx A PCIs not.

Thanks so much and you're so right about God's creatures. We can learn so much from them and turtles are known for teaching patience. I have a terrapin living in my backyard right now; I hope he's faring well underground, sa it's very cold today.

I used to have many fish tanks. Pity I had to dismantle all. Too much work to keep the aquariums clean.

Yes, they can be a bit much to keep clean after awhile. Thanks Victor.
