John Lawless Poet Verse

A Fantasy Fish - For Contest

A Fantasy Fish


A fantasy fish in a fantasy ocean
floating around in a fantasy potion
adrift in the depth of slumber’s commotion
eyes blinking in awe of this wondrous notion.

Fins that have feathers - scales iridescence
tickling with joy the sea’s effervescence
gills playing music as the rainbows flow through
calming the dreamer with soft notes of blue.

A fantasy ocean - a fantasy fish
colorful candy in mind’s candy dish
inviting the dreamer in for a swim
in the fantasy world of eye flashing REM.

D.W. Rodgers November 7, 2015 at 4:20 PM As a fisherman, I always appreciate one who catches the moment. To quote John Gierarch "trout don't have to be so beautiful, but they are." John Lawless December 6, 2015 at 11:24 AM Thanks for stopping to read and comment...love the quote.
