Lone Fish

I observed some tiny fish whose formation was a ball,
But one fish didn't keep up too well and lagged a bit behind.
He looked a lot like a soccer ref, ready to call a foul,
But perhaps, his sense of circle had never been defined.

Howard Kerr Date: 2/11/2024 1:44:00 AM You have written a discerning rhyme based on shrewd judgement. An observational work on the dilemma one sometimes encounters in the decision making process. In response to your extraordinarily kind reflections on Wild And Free I did indeed invest a large amount of time on it Login to Reply

Bill Baker Date: 12/9/2023 5:40:00 PM An intriguing thought, Hilda. Sometimes there's nothing wrong, the fish just didn't fit in. Probably a poet. LOL, I enjoyed reading your poetry today, my friend.

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 12/3/2023 4:29:00 PM An interesting and thought provoking, outstanding poem! Perhaps the lone fish 'swam' to the beat of a different drummer. I hope your week is nice. :) Login to Reply Hilda Greenhough Date: 12/3/2023 6:47:00 PM Thank you. I do have a few Christmas plans that I'm looking forward to enjoying.

Sotto Poet Date: 12/2/2023 7:16:00 PM Hilda, here is a really fundamental and nice assessment of one of the living species! The final Verse of the poem is just brilliant!

Speaks Volumes Date: 11/30/2023 8:20:00 PM A charming poem Hilda to liken a fish that lags a little behind was a perfect likeness for a Soccer Ref. I really like this poem. Login to Reply Hilda Greenhough Date: 12/1/2023 5:35:00 AM Thank you for your comment on Lone Fish.

Ink Empress Date: 11/30/2023 3:14:00 AM You are such a deep observer and this is so heartfelt and soulful. Made me think deep too. Especially the last line. I think so too.
