Fishy Poems - Poems about Fishy

Steady the float

Here rest my oars.
A killick thrown to the school of fishes,
To still my boat from the peering waves.
Fishy-wishy scatter as water splatters,
Like wood chips flying when the pickaxe strikes.
A ship draws near, but my killick blocks its kiss—
Its stale mouth might stagger my rest,
And send my gathered fish fleeing the net.

Much of the mud my

Premium MemberA Fishy Tale

I spoke to the sea,
 a calm breath
though a gale raged
inside of me – both my
sails shredded, I begged
for mercy: 

“Thou art the greatest world current,
what brag would be a wretched notch
like me!? Devourer of coasts!
Reshaper of vast continents! Bane
of man’s mightiest fleets! Countless
formidable have foolishly challenged thee, and now 
lie silent in your crushing

Something Fishy

No wish to carp or cock a snook
I won't leave you in the lurch
but oh my cod take a look
what a plaice to perch
as just for the halibut
putting seahorses out to paddock
is enough to give one
a severe bad haddock
so no red herring I don't flounder around
take a peeled eel flake of baked hake
plus pinch of

Premium MemberA FISHY TALE

I’m resting in bed
with an aching head.
Ma’s fussing and said
“I’ve cooked a huge fish
it’s truly delish”
I try to feign sleep,
pretend to count sheep
but I want to weep!

 
I’m craving beef steak,
rich cheese pasta bake
or a slice of cake!
Ma made me pike pie
And I cannot lie
I started to cry.
My pike pie I squish
I loathe this fish

What have you done, for you look like a perch?
On Botox you should've done some research
I won't sugarcoat it
You look very bloated
Your face is engorged, and some will besmirch

Resembling a puffer with puckered lips
I wanna pop them with my fingertips
Dress yourself up in lace
Get rid of that fish face
Girl, you better get real and come

Premium MemberFishy Smell Is Not At All Me

There is one job I could never do
ever since leaving school this was a no
never felt any real direction at that time
but a fish shop job was never ever so

The smell of fish always put me off
even from a early age to smell
I just couldn't stand this aroma
fish and me would not ever gel

Today when

Something Fishy Happened On the Way To the Litterbox

There once was a fish kept in a bowl.
In his little sphere he had control.
But then that damn cat
Knocked it over—splat!
And proceeded to gobble him whole.

A Fishy Tale

We'd get the punt from St Mary's church,
We clambered aboard, with enough gear to make the punt lurch.

There was my Dad my Uncle, me and a family friend,
You could feel the day was going to be hot,
But off we went to discover our fishy lot.

We each had a very expensive rod, but we was one

SOUNDS FISHY

In this recent competition I was number one
And they confirmed officially that I had won
But I actually heard from entrant number two
And she was also told that she had won too
I do wonder what are organisers really for
So few entrants, as there were only four
The prize was a Scottish holiday up in Fife
Not for

Premium MemberFishy Circumstances

The scales fall swiftly from the eyes
And suddenly, we realize
Those fish we flushed down the toilet
Were clever, sentient koi that
Faked their death and swam the sewer
(Shawshank-style, for savvy viewer).
Wool pulled by infernal guppy,
Now we’re walking the new puppy…

A school of silverfish looked up at me
      At least it seemed their eyes could see

    I acknowledged them with a bob of my head
      They bobbed me back ~ That's all we said
