Ms. FishA Poem by Colette LaDukeDucks are pretty neatMs. Fish Under the mysterious murky water, swims a cute little rainbow fish. scales glint and gleam beneath the dark green surface; unlike the crystal clear tank where goldfish reside. Up on Abel’s hill, friends and family gather round; toes slowly reach the pond’s edge they cast their lines, hooks break the water's surface. the children wait patiently Ms fish surfaces for an afternoon snack children squeal, as the bobber disappears. chaos is in the air as Ms. fish’s lip pains her she is forcefully removed from her home under water the surface dwellers are filled with delight and excitedly run home In the kitchen momma cooks, crispy, fluffy hush The children run through the front door overjoyed by their success Momma makes them wash their hands. she takes Ms. fish and begins to wash and gut her pop pop pop goes the oil in the pan; they set the table and say their prayers. The end to a perfect day© 2015 Colette LaDuke |
