She was up early that morning on a mission to feed her new fish
nose plastered to the glass she eyes the goldfish with enthusiasm
two little chubby arms wrap around a bowl of heavy glass;
Waddling to the kitchen she cliimbs a chair and pours out the
water and fish onto the sieve. " MOOOOOOOMMMMM"
Half her body is leaning inside a big sink. She's trying to catch
the squirmy little thing as it frenzies and flops "MOOOOMMM"
An afternoon cup of tea, my baby and me
along with ju-jube now we make three
with mouth agape he eats the fish food
then squiggles by as her eyes stay glued
to a fish in an aquariumm swimming free...
She was up early that morning on a mission to rescue a hungry fish
from my bedroom all I heard was the scrape of a chair and a kiss .
The End.

A Sunny Winters day
Cool sun kisses skin.
Pastel coloured ocean
Shuddering salty sea
Pink apricot morning sky
Seaside meditation tape.
Rolling frothing waves
emerge at fast intervals
Driftwood on the shore
Gold sloping sand dune
Giant swirly starfish studs
Seagulls squawking high
Leopard jelly sea slugs
Spiky red rubbery corals
Glittering foam sparkles
Extreme low tide no wind
Cuttlefish , tiny shells
Haystacks of seagrass
Jelly baby jube aneama
Soft small gentle waves
sound like a waterfall
Seagull flock flying low
red rimmed pale eyes
breathing hole red beak
red webbed feet high
flushed to body in flight.
