Short Goldfish Bowl Poems

A fish swimming in a big pool
Thought to itself this is cool.
It makes a fish feel complete and whole
An improvement from a goldfish bowl.
As the fish swam away to join the school
He prayed for survival in this big pool...

My life is so depressing
I feel trapped, in need of space
I need some fresh air to breathe
A gentle breeze touching my face
A taste of freedom to make me feel whole
Instead of suffocating in this human goldfish bowl

Listen to poem:

Kitten pauses over fishbowl because, 
it can't stand wetting its dry and clean paws.
So the goldfish are safe, free from the jaws.
And don't they know it, as they flap applause,
When they nonchalantly swim with no cause
For fear of cat, which obeys nature's laws....

They stopped Scarborough Fair,
And the children went home
Clutching their goldfish bowl.

They'll remember the din,
The shouts and the screams
Plus their colourful win.

Or will name the bright fish,
Put the bowl on a dish,
Or sing soft of Scarborough Fair.

Try to imagine
a fish that’s all alone

I’m swimming in circles
In my tiny goldfish bowl

An aquarium
Is what I dream of
Eternally

And there’s a big square box
Beneath the tree
And it’s addressed to me

The label says
Happy Christmas Goldie
From your family 

It’s Christmas

My heart sore liken a goldfish bowl
 an aquarium filled with neon tetra fishes so
 you are skimming, swimming, through my heart
 in due process
 yet ever so smart 
my love for you is blue
 your favorite color is to 
royalty astounded your heart  
found it I cherish your colors hue
 you my heart beats Forever Blue

I am feeling watched Goldie confided to Diamond Blue.
I don’t know about that, but the humans are long overdue.
The humans don’t worry me said Flash, the other goldfish.
I am worried about those furry ones, she said with a swish.

Diamond Blue’s eyesight was not good, so he was not worried.
The two cats watching jumped down and promptly scurried.
When they heard a car door slam, for they were not supposed to be
Anywhere near the goldfish bowl, so said the boss, Grandma Lee....
