The flight of a Goldfish

A Poem by andrew mitchell

                                                      Slapping
                                                          on
                                                          tiles;
                                                      last breath,
                                                         watery   
                                                           tide
                                                          flows
                                                          empty.
                                                         Knocked
                                                            from
                                                           table
                                                          caught
                                                             the 
                                                            floor.
                                                              A
                                                            home;
                                                             glass
                                                             from
                                                             sands;
                                                          smashes.
                                                              Life
                                                               no
                                                             more.

I feel like a fish out of water sometimes, but thankfully I am placed in another water-filled bowl before someone flushes me because who wants to swim in life's septic tank? I really enjoyed this write, Andrew.

Thank you FT and I know that feeling out of water!!!
Poor creature! Was it an accident or was he pushed. This is a graphic tale of horror and I am now haunted by images of the golden fish flopping around struggling for breath.
