Playful Flying Fish

.

joy is a playful 
flying fish

      a dazzling glider 
      that skims 

              and ricochets 
              along the surface 

                      of the sea
                      on a silvery day!



it sinks down, 
gone for a while

      but is seen 
      once more

             darting out 
             of the water

                    playing forever
                    on a silvery day!

Such a delight to read, Romeo. As a fisherman, I have seen these flying fish often and I love the way you describe them. And thanks for introducing me to the tail-rhyme form. I'll have to try this as I enjoyed the flow so much. Well done! Best wishes, Carolyn
