Premium Member Fishy Encounters of the Silent Kind

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


Premium Member I Could Never Write

I could never write a poem about 
Horseradish
Dust bunnies
Nose hairs
Rat droppings
A dead roach
Cow pies
Mastication
Silverfish
Ketchup
A dirty diaper
A car engine
Naval fuzz
Cobwebs
Vampires
Microphones
Skateboards
Nail clippings
Torn limbs
I say and then I do.

Mirror

Placid surface
looking glass
still water
 
Silence but for the cries of ducks
silverfish
minuscule reflections
of an almighty orb
casting its omnipresent being
onto rippling water
 
Undulations
varying patterns
splintering the smoothness
heartbeats of water
 
Boatman
ferryman - 
a carrier of souls
across Styx
deep water
 
A pathway to netherworlds
rough water

Silverfish you are well-named,
Silver you have; and fish? Fake!
I haven't read all these books, famed,
Is it, hence, their ribs you break...?

Maps many you neatly mold,
With holes, in nooks, nicely knit;
Throats of my poem books, old,
Have you, dear, knowingly slit...??
