Best Aquarium Poems

My life  in an  aquarium,  so  great, 
But  fearsome,  with unknown  fate. 

Swimming  against  the  fresh  water, 
Flapping  my  gills  for a  breather, 
The  air pump  producing ...

Yellow Butterflyfish and Snakeskin Discus
swim freely in this life I call an aquarium-
I see a Purple Regal Tang as the Pufferfish 
sang with a melody like a sweet guitar strum.
Blue and pink coral, like a make-believe floral
stand strong and tall in the salt-watered tank-
The lemon...

The zoo
Is so crowded
Aquarium I choose
That is so nice

Fine, then.
My kids love it.
Fish are lovely creatures
We will have fun....

fish eye to fish eye

in love's stony embrace

two rock fish kissing

Note: This haiku was created from 
my poem "Kissing Rocks."
I'm finding it fun to write different
forms for the same poem, with
small word changes....

each one
a diamond in a jeweler's box
a planet unto itself
the seahorse planet
the clown fish kingdom
the eels hideaway

the deep
features a godiva
box of chocolates

it was 
hilarious the way
they go on invisible highways
a community of barbers
doctors, hairdressers, cops
and children at play...

Sitting by them in the Aquarium
         before I saw blue fish,
I saw the Chinese couple not getting on.

Arms were raised and hands
         and awkwardness to show.

It must have been...

AQUARIAN AQUARIUM

coral reefs ripple beneath
crystal clear cerulean
cinematic hues of cool
Caribbean 
blues

psychedelic underworld
swims and swirls serenely
a show room of shy seahorses
Surrealistic
muse

ringlet tails coiled regalia
resplendent heads held high
rocking to and fro below rare
Aquarium
views

gills in pink and lilac breathe
dark sharks lurk and scheme
in this tropical kaleidoscope 
of
Aquarian
pool

i put a door on my aquarium
so the fish could come and go as they please
although the idea might be scaring them
it's not like i made it screened

if they just barely open it
that will help to stem the flow
i know the goldfish are all hoping...

A silo water casket scintillates glow 
Green sea-weed blanket, bright red and yellow.
Pebbles and gravel, in a crystalline show.
Fizzing of bubbles the aquatic-air combo.

A vista of motion, flashes a rainbow. 
A bunch of humans thrown, in the confined gizmo. 
Dull green eyes, swim an ocean...

The cichlids patrol their 48”x18”x18” tank and
though this country has been officially metric since
April Fool’s day, 1975, I still measure fish and tanks 
in inches, feet, ounces, pounds and gallons.
A mix of African cichlids, from lakes Victoria and 
Tanganyika, but tanks are the only world...

Seven hundred and fifty millimeters between worlds-
Confined on one side,
the enormity of the ocean, 
a contradiction to the sand on which it sits; 
artificiality’s extravagance encompassed 
in a delicate 
bubble.

Just as its maker, 
Under azure of neon and amongst
the life in its technicolor,
diverse, rare, immigrated;
Its...
