Best Guppies Poems


Tropical Fish Tank

What a lovely sight it is to see all the fish in there
Wonderful creatures swimming about everywhere
Large ones and small ones graceful as they move
They are swimming around with nothing to prove

The Hypostomus plecostomus adheres to the glass
Cleaning the tank not letting any algae pass
Colourful clashes of many tropical creatures
Blending in nicely with all the tanks features

Red tailed sharks, Angel fish and Guppies too
Relaxing to watch them and the things they do
Aquarium plants sway gently going with the flow
Bubbles full of air up to the top they go

A community of fish are living and survive
There are no real predators so they stay alive
Feeding and swimming in their own special way
Creating their own young so they will always stay

Ornamental coloured pebbles lay on the bottom
Plecky is still cleaning up so nothing goes rotten
How wonderful it is to see all the fish share
Every last bit of food and bubbles of air

Brilliant lighting and coloured bubbles rise
They feed from the food a sprinkled surprise
Characters abundant each fish has its own
From a tiny fish fry oh how they have grown

What If a Bedtime Poem For Kids

What If?

What if guppies and goldfish could swim through the air?
What if birds could only relax by sitting in a chair?

What if spider webs looked like charming bungalows?
What if cheese sticks had to be hunted out in the jungle-os?

What if curtains were carefully hung up in the Maple trees?
What if cookies only came from buzzing little bees?

What if horses were allowed to take rides on our backs?
What if skateboards could take a ride on the rail road tracks?

What if Saturdays came more than just once a week?
What if at your birthday presents you could take a peek?

What if alligators played music every time they’d sneeze?
What if teachers taught Algebra to the chimpanzees?

What if delicious gumballs grew out in the yard?
What if scoring soccer goals wasn’t all that hard?

What if arching rainbows were something you could touch?
What if with each of the colors you could skip Double Dutch?

What if the medicine that the doctor gave you tasted like ice cream?
What if you and your best friend could go to sleep and dream the same dream?

What if all of these things were completely true?
It wouldn’t matter at all to me because I would still love you.

Cascade of colors swirls in a fishy maze,
a tank of topicals swim the watery haze;
as a plastic diver opens his treasure,
what's inside is strictly his pleasure.

Tetra's dream of tasty bites
Swordtails dine to their delight;
albino Catfish sweeps the gravel,
as bright corals do bedazzle.

As bright guppies wiggle, wriggle
and Goldfish's fins flow in a jiggle;
a black Molly races by the snails,
as a tiny crab scurries up the ship's sail.

It's a color-wonderland behind the glass;
flowing in and out of the guppy grass.

One Day

Guppies in my garden pond multiplied
Lilies  bloomed 
Bushy.snow white rose flowered
Berries ripe
Sparrows 
Squirrels
Breeze 
Every Breeze brings a song
Every song brings a guest 
Every guest brings a smile
Every smile spreads light
Light......
One day....

Mine's Bigger Than Yours


My golden ego soars higher than yours
I can hold my breath longer underwater
of course,
because my publican lungs are stronger than yours
I can outshout your taxing voice 
to the heavens with a prideful text roar
I’m the big button lying king,
that’s for truth ducky sure
Everything I have is bigger than yours
Exaggeration is a lawsuit I wear well,
fancy-laced shegnanians is the shoes I boot you with — 
Patent leather pardon free get-out-of-jail
Put a deflecting shine on the witness stand,
make the gullible masses 
see me as being smarter than I really am
I bigly roll with the donor class society swells
I take a bigger leak from my Wall Street
inside trader executive bathroom Tower mole tell
My greed is bigger than yours ...
Got great white sharkey needs,
on little flunky guppies I love to gorge
My cyber jaws are bigger than life,
that’s why 
Tricky Twitter Moby Dick I 
voted for myself ruble roulette twice
I’m a most unpopular populist prez
with no moral boundaries
Don’t try to fence me in,
make me chicken scratch fake news little again
My nihilistic narcissism is bigger than yours,
you best believe
I can sexually harass 
better than Willie Boy Clinton
could ever achieve
I’m a business caveman
whose twin brass clubs are bigger than yours
I’ll take your woman,
and with a misogynist leash make her walk on all fours
My serial debts
are bankrupt corrupt much bigger than yours
I bowl a perfect money laundry game
with a mob marked counterfeit score
Mine covetousness is so much bigger than yours
Got more trophy wives than you do,
so king me on the divorce checkerboard
My nuclear button boasts are bombastic bigger than yours ...
and I’ll blow you out the water onto barren refugee shores,
if you don’t lip bow unbutton inflate — 
Balloon buffoon infatuate on the dreams I daily tweet snore

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 the time

Never throw small things in the toilet
Bony creatures can get stuck when flushing
Fish go better in a soup
Don't tell them that
Or add too much seasoning without a reason                                 

Be truthful to your fish
Be faithful as you wish them to be
They swim about for a living

The Iliad and Odyssey are recommended reading 
For people, not aquatic types
Anything other than Greek might suffice
Goldfish don't speak Greek

Don't know about the Trojans either
Luwian is foreign and hard to pronounce
Too many vowels and consonants
Along with cuneiform and hieroglyphic characters
Goldfish are not conversant in such languages

We recommend leaving them in a bowl
Preferably filled with water 
That way they can grow old 

Don't confuse them with gray guppies
Goldfish are gold
Some say orange or red
Love your fishes any way
Like the good book says
….or was it the cook book?

Memory of Hawaii At the Age of Three

For my muse, I choose the euphoric source
Of my most transcendent -

   Lovely
- Muddy 
 Memories. 

Perceptual flashes? slosh slushing 
Approaching an untamed blue-green pond
Just your average amphibian gone blonde.
In sunshine or windward shower.

Loitering around the grassy brim, 
On that one slick rock, I stood up 
Catch a fish. oooooh, you swift ~
Let it back in?

Or you could... 
Run screaming like the flaming river rumbling down the mountain. 
To the lunulate lagoon?? in the front yard

Hop & stand 
Fish in hand You. Have. To. Make. It.  

But     the        gargantuan          estate.  .     . it's too late.

That tiny t-rex gait, might just seal 
That golden guppies fate. 

Cause you sprung like spring 
And set that little sucker free.

Aquarium Door

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 that 
the guppies don't treat it like a swinging door

i'm sure they'll get used to it in time
as we all do things in life
and when they do they'll come to realize
above all else my genius mind

What Is Interesting

What is interesting to me is how we all have our own conception on…
- what is “interesting”.

Each brain contains at least one hundred billion cells, you see,
each cell designed different yet we may share the same view-
The science of sound may seem very intriguing to someone like me,
but it may just be as boring as a newspaper to someone like you.

Captivation of worldly events can consume a human’s mind,
cause fear and apprehension and affect their daily routine-
I can sit here and engage on why I get absorbed in my rhymes,
while you stand there enthralled on what’s on the television screen.

I may be interested in how the heck they build a train track,
how long it would take and how much of my tax money it will cost-
You may find it gripping finding a tiny needle in a haystack,
while I could care less about metal objects, it will just end up lost.

What’s fascinating to me is how the primary colors were created,
red, blue and yellow just happened to strangely appear?
Or how a sawfish can give birth to guppies and haven’t even mated,
I find it alluring that the secrets about nature are so unclear.

I wonder what it would be like to be able to live on the moon?
How long would it take to get there and what would I eat-
Or who in the world decided to invent the fork, knife and spoon?
I'm so curious why so many people these days are allergic to wheat.

I find it enticing how all humans have unique opinions and notions,
who finds this interesting and that over there may be a plain bore-
We all have different DNA but we all share similar emotions,
what's interesting is how we all strive on a daily basis to learn more.

-the more we learn, the more interesting life becomes...

Why do puppies like to chew up paper
To ingest the news I'm thinking, this caper
Smart ass puppies
Smarter than guppies
They just swim around smiling back at us gapers

Can Not Stop the Clock

4/19/21

This goes out to whoever
I got to do better
And keep it together

Blinded by it
The reason why I buy it
Can't deny it
I continue to try it
For a period of time, I was able to fight it
Gone past the point of needing to hide it

It's there for the taking
But not if you continue waiting
Through this journey, I've been painstaking
Even though at times it was backbreaking
And really heartbreaking
Occasionally Earthquakes the cause of the Earth shaking
Made a lot of poor choices, despite all the decisions and money making
They thought it was ghosts that I was chasing
To me it was intoxicating
They continue debating
Towards others often shading
I have a difficult time relating
Got enough problems on my own I'm facing

Mind often wanders
Continually I ponder
Holding on longer
Getting stronger
Displaying honor
Still drinking lagers
The land occasionally copper
And the waters
Have guppies or monsters
From here to yonder
I've got a lot to offer
And can prosper
Unless I continue to squander
And think 'why bother'?
Paying no respect to the All-Father
Before I'm a goner

Certain things just can't be bought
The community is divided or they quickly flock
They continue to stir the pot
There's been a lot of talk
Most of which was crock
The truth came as no suprise or a shock
Can not stop the clock
If there's one thing my mom taught
It's that you can be hateful or not
As well as grateful or not for what you got
Comfortable or in a tight spot
If necessary, getting it done at all costs
As opportunity continually knocks

Stood atop
A dock
While in deep thought
Drinking another one and taking a shot
As life continues on or begins to rot

Love bananas with my puffies
Makes me squirm in my undies
Wanna climb trees
But it makes me wheeze
Guess I'll just get back to my guppies

How to begin this day?
We all begin it in our own way.
Some frenetic, some memetic.

The worst way is to listen to
news.
So unconcerned about killings
of Christians and Jews.
But dedicated to do anything 
for ratings and some shillings.
All in the name of ratings winnings?

Listen to their voices,they think they 
are thespians!
Stressing drama and violence.
Never a word about goodness in 
this world, it's all been silenced!

Like hungry guppies, we need 
that morning dose!
You know exactly what I mean,
That somehow each day is just!
a curse!
Ungrateful beings, we..so
drunk on our own poetry.

Do any of us ask God:
"What do YOU want me to 
do today."
No, we do not think of Him.
And scratch our heads..why
is it then...that this world so 
full of conceit and sin?
