we had tropical fish once in a tank by the television on a cast iron stand they swam around and around they got fat and blew bubbles into the blinds until, one by one they drowned yup drowned grin they looked great there beneath the fluorescent under the water spitting chips and swishing their tales as we held ours p.s sorry for this, was feeling rather glum "we all have wings, but some of us don't know why" Michael Hutchence (INXS) [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (04-26-2005 08:38 PM).] |

Geez Maree! You know I love your writing, but come on! You can't go giving the great-white-hunter a lump in his throat over a fish! You know you must be good if you can choke me up with a fish story! It really was a brilliantly written poem as always. It's a blessing to find your posts whenever I get on the blue pages. I hope you are feeling better. Be "un-glum!" Warm wishes from afar, Big K |
