If Fishes Were Wishes
If fishes were wishes

I'd buy a net, and get myself out in a boat.

I'd make it my goal to catch me a shoal

I'd find somewhere unfished, and remote.

I'd cast my net wide, over the side

Then watch it sink 'neath the blue.

I'd be happy enough, if...

“Egads and little fishes”
Reminds me of my dear old mum
Covering her head uttering this phrase
Thunder made her come undone

Terrified by each electrical storm
Dear mum would nearly passed out
With thunder, lightning, and pelting rain
She'd cower in a corner throughout

Really felt bad, she was truly scared
Tried hard...

Fishes From Heaven

I’m sorry to leave that dear husband of mine
But Ted will be fine with his rod, reel and line
His love for his fishing left me in the shade
I often said Ted should have wed a mermaid
When I get to heaven, I don’t want...

Sleeps With the Fishes
The flight of my whims-
In Ocean's swim!
Shallow depths of murkiness
Brimming at the rims
Bubbles of trouble,
Like rain in puddles
Gather to the Grim
Pop me none too subtle-
And pull apart my fins!

*Again, this is a bit experimental and not sure how you will interpret it. Also, I know...

FISH TO FISHES

They changed the "many fish," it is now called the "fishes"? 
As in more than "one wish" for our dreams, as in "wishes."
In the apple half cut to halves, that we have to have, 
Or one foot, to many feet, and calf to...

Climate Change and the Fishes Are Gone
I have been diving early dawn, 
from one reef to another, 
and into the depth of the shoal, 
from sunrise till sunset, 
but caught four tiny fishes, 
and a dead oyster, 
quite disturbing, 
the fishes are gone.

Very vivid in my thought
just five years have passed,...

Sheeping With the Fishes
SHEEPING  WITH  THE   FISHES

Mouth open, closed  
Dull eyes not yet asleep
Ears out like small wings
Under woolly hair.  
His shining silvery jacket’s
Sharp pointed safety pins
Like hooks, wet looking, smooth
As in the deep. 
 
Slowly rattle as points creep
By and voice...

A puddle of fish. A fountain. A silver dish. Never try to outpace a whale as they are particularly good at breaststroke. And please don't slam the lid on the peanuts in a tin as they rather like to look out at their surroundings. Chasing...

Can't count the times
Heard my mommy say
“Yee gods and little fishes”
Always during a thunder storm
Such a gentle sweet old lady
Rocking back and forth
In her old rocking chair
Oh... what memories!...
