Fishbowl Poems - Poems about Fishbowl

April Fools' Day Cat

A cat on April Fools’, sleek and cool,
Found itself in a rather wet duel.
With a splash and a splosh,
In a fishbowl, it did wash,
Proving even a feline can be a fool!

My Kitty's In the Fishbowl

I watched kitty inch closer to the fish
For you see she jumped upon a desktop
First a stool, then to a chair and then swish
My curious one had no bounds to stop

Back and forth she tiptoed around the bowl
Front to side she shadowed the five Lil golds
I couldn't see kitty being a troll
Yet it's her nature

Fishbowl

Confined within this little bowl
Sadness invades my feeble soul
As in dire straits myself I find
To cruel fate I am resigned.

Deprived of freedom, short of air 
Caught in a maelstrom of despair
Restricted space that leads to stress
I struggle hard without success.

Beyond the glass to public view
The scrutinizers have no clue
Of what I’m really going through
And with

Fishbowl Love

Moe and Lisa
Moe and Lisa
They have named you
You swim about the bowl
an aquatic dance

Moe and Lisa
Moe and Lisa
Do you notice
the barrier 
of glass?

Are you happy
Moe and Lisa?
Because to you
It's a fin to 
fin romance

Moe and Lisa
Moe and Lisa
your life is short
so enjoy the dance

Moe and Lisa 
Moe and Lisa
I had one who
made my 
heart sing

Fishbowl

Swimming revolutions,
Walking in the right lane,
Cultural institutions,
Every second's the same.

Our destinies intertwine,
Though our paths differ,
While we are not caught on a fishing line,
We are all cycled through the same filter.

The steady monotony,
Of wake, swim, eat, sleep,
Echoes quite similarly,
To our habitat of mindless routine and day dreams.

We all dream of adventure yet squander our independence,
To you,

Life In a Fishbowl

Who are we?

Swimming in this fishbowl forever
Never looking beyond our world, never

Simply swimming in a fishbowl
Together, one and all

But look out that glass window
Swim away you’re free to go

So little fish, what do you want to be?
Swim little fish there’s the whole world to see

Your fate lies out there, this journey’s through
So swim little fish,

Fishbowl

I‘ve known you forever
But we are mere strangers
A glance, a pass, a smile
Yet I know you
The familiar is what I see
 We are not strangers in this fish bowl.
Our souls colliding like a rushing wave
 Together, one being…you and me

Fishbowl

Eyes stare from all sides
                  Exposed, raw emotions displayed for fickle masses
