Premium Member Ode To a Goldfish
Have you ever sat while deep in thought,
on a brand new toilet seat that you just bought?
Maybe you wondered and felt despair,
about that poor little goldfish you flushed down there.

Was he dead or just fast asleep?
Could he make the ocean in his final leap?
It’s truly...

Premium Member Goldfish Swimming In My Mind Today
There are goldfish swimming in the recesses of my dendrite pool.
They are flashing their tails and being ever so cool.
I am trying to ignore them, thinking they might go away.
Trixie is laughing, for they very much want to play.

Okay. I say, just for a second...

Hubby will NEVER let Dragon and me go to a pet store! Ever! Again!
It started when we needed Dog chow for all our really big dogs… then…
Dragon found the fish, with some being sold for only 15 cents apiece…
We were told; they’re sold for others...

Premium Member The Goldfish
the goldfish 
looks out 
at the distorted world 
through a glass bowl
and tries to make sense of it 

he watches the room about him 
and those that feed him
with self satisfaction  
unknowingly waiting for death
and a burial at sea...

So here's my big insight.
My two cents worth,
which will remain worth only a penny
unless it somehow aligns with your penny
for thoughts and shared feelings.

What if we put our human nature genie 
back in Earth's home-nature bottle?

OK, already I hear Fundamentalists about the great transcendent Sacred...

The Ugly Goldfish
The Ugly Goldfish

Beauty they say lies in the eyes of the beholder
So in a nut shell beauty may not exactly be seen as the impressive appearance one finds looking back at the mirror
but a power to be wielded by the beholder
Friday suffers from emotional isolation...

In a Sea of Goldfish
In a sea of goldfish sat a Bryce
He looked around, said, "Hey, this is nice!"
We fed him a bit more
He threw most to the floor
Then we gave him a bath once or twice...

Goldfish In Heaven
It was a little cold this morning.
Colder this morning
than any other so far this year. 
Of course every day this year seems
colder than any year before.

It’s October now.
It’ll be my birthday soon.
I’ll be eighty-four… or twelve.
I guess it all depends on who’s counting. 

My best...

Goldfish stuck inside a bowl,
tiny is your space!
Simple is that bowl you're in,
yet you lend it grace.

Goldfish in that tiny bowl
with your orange hue,
softly shimmer your small fins.
It's all you can do!

Were I in your circumstance,
I would feel bereft,
knowing barely could I turn
either right or...

Love Your Goldfish As Yourself
Feed your goldfish before you leave 
Love them as you love yourself
The bible tells us all fish are created equal 

Some people prefer baby guppies
Because their mouths move slow and oval
They are smaller and talk in pantomime
Can breath underwater
And even look like one another all...

Word: Goldfish

My fins are fully functional, so I guess now it's time to say goodbye,
As the last call for a new destination rings out in the terminal. 
I promise you I'll call as much as I can, and that I'll...

Goldfish Matters
Goldfish appear to prefer the color orange
They have no arms to reach conclusions 
Live out their lives in water bowls or tanks

Some college students swallow them as pranks 
Bad people with no manners
Gold fish are not meant as snacks

Children spill them on the carpet in...

Sun on still waters—
Then a sudden splash of gold
Vanishing below....
