FROG AND FISH

FROG AND FISH

 

You are a frog in the well

And you can’t see beyond the wall

But I am a fish in the ocean

Nobody can stop my lively motion

 

You think the water in your well is the pacific

And don’t understand the wise counsel of a critic

I travel as long as I can

Swimming is really my fun

 

Only the dolphin can match me in the run

I feel why I can’t fly like a swan

I can go deep into the sea

The eagle flies very high with a spree

 

I really pity you , Mr  frog

Your thinking is really vague

And your movement is mere hop

You will never come to the top

"And your movement is mere hop
You will never come to the top"

This line was my favorite. I always like these types of imagery/metaphor... bringing inanimate things/animals to life and bestowing on them characters that fit in with their physicalities or behavior is always an enjoyable read for me...and for that i deeply liked this piece!

Plus with the added rhyme...topping on the cake really :D

Good one my friend...

A interesting point view on this poem. I believe it is where you are standing or swimming. Frogs are safe in the USA. Few like to touch or play with. Fish are meals for the masses. Eagle had only one enemy. Man had no respect for the honored Eagle. Thank you for the entertaining poem.

I actually like how you use animals to get a strong point across. It reminds me of a fable.

A delightful poem.

Great write JVL, I think I've seen a frog on top before.. struggling everyday just to be in our own skin and doing our best is what it's all about.. our personal achievements not the standards set by society..
Beautifully expressed :) xx
