Ode to a Blowfish poem

60

By Poetic Muse

I found him on a curb.

Ode to a Blowfish

One day you are swimming in the sea

Pretty happy-go-lucky and carefree

And the next thing that you know

Into a fishing boat you go

I bet you never saw that coming

That a new tune you'd be humming

Now look at what's left of you

And there is nothing you can do

You are all dried out and prickly

And you look terribly sickly

And now you're stuck on dry land

Gone are the beaches and the sand

You adorn somebody's desk top

Between the monitor and the mop

Your mother thought you'd be big some day

How did you ever end up this way?

Dedicated To Lounn

  • Does Poetry Believe In Me?

    I've been writing poetry all my life, and have posted quite a bit of it online. I've had this blog for years and I just noticed I don't have a single follower. Considering poetry is one of the things I'm best at, and went over well in college and creative writing and all that, the lack of recognition makes me sad. I do have fans that comment on my poetry over on Hubpages. Do people read poetry anymore? Or are there just so many billions of poems on the Internet these days that most of us are virtually ignored? I believe in poetry. Does poetry believe in me?

Thanks G-Ma. Her style is so infectious. She's like a whole poetry revolution singlehandedly. She's like a poetry ninja.

Wow, that could be blowfish or any of us, wondeful poem.  Reminds me of my planets  - even blowfish can dream.
