Landscape - Flying Fish Soar

Fishes are water-locked, or so it seems But some fish can soar on fins as wings They zoom up fast, bursting right through the surface, flying up into the air, Soaring in gliding flight above the waves. Flying in air is fabulous for fish. They feel the wind in their faces, scales ruffled. They see the sky and sun beaming clear and bright or see the eerie moon and stars, flying at night. Nearshore the landscapes are stunning: Rocky headlands brown and dry Hinterlands green and lush Rock shelves covered in foam and pools Beaches yellow and bright, fringed with breaking waves. Then there's the boats; you have to watch out for those Otherwise you'll flip and flap on deck till you die. It is sad when speed drops and flight is over with a splash, and the waves gather the flying 'Fish Flingers' back into their watery medium.
