Which Fish Lures You

It’s said there are many fish in the sea So which type of fish would you choose to be The sharks and jellyfish I would avoid Swimming with dolphins I’ve always enjoyed Tropical river queens are angelfish To mate with one of them, male species wish All fish seem to evade barracuda Even powerful, albacore tuna But of all fish swimming in lakes and seas There’s just one with humor that seeks to please Clownfish perform an amusing sea dance With host fish before they take residence If given my choice, a clownfish I’d be There’s no greater gift than laughter to me *Written June 30, 2014 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/Clown_fish_in_the_Anda man_Coral_Reef.jpg

this one has an oceanic flow~ I have been the clownfish many a times myself. -I'd like to be under the sea in an Octopus's' Garden in the shade-. Funny, I listened to Abbey Road Album today and hit repeat on that cute Ringo Starr tune which your poem here very much reminds me of. I suppose love I'd be one of those mysterious species residing so deep in the ocean that we haven't even discovered them just yet. I do respect your choice of the Clownfish C.D. You are the Queen of Sea Writings 7UP

This is a great sonnet, Carolyn. The clown fish probably lives longer than the other fish. Laughter is the best medicine and such a precious gift to pass on. Very nice my friend. And thanks for the placement in your contest. Your friend.... Robert.

If I was to be a Fish, then this would be my wish. It would have to be the Cuckoo Wrasse, because he always gets his lass. Yep, I love fishing poems, but I'd rather be fishing. So hopefully later this Summer. Koolio Fishy write Carolyn, James :)
