Nowhere to go

From murky depths the fish leaping high above the ground dirty water it could not bear sought escape in open air. But nowhere else it could go. Back to the pond it jumped down; up again, then down once more; a cycle it couldn't ignore.

Nice poem. It's funny to think of a human who might dive into the ocean out of desperation, but for a fish, it's the reverse.

Sounds like a real fishy conundrum there, Akham. What's a poor fish to do?!
