Goldfish

Goldfish swim in a small bowl  same as I swim around in mine. They orbit around in circles  I do the same just fine.   Their world is a lot smaller but they possibly see as much. The way I go about my day I'm most clearly out of touch.

An older one I fiddled with a bit.

Dellena, a curious comparison, of you and a fish in a bowl. I have to wonder if there is a larger issue, or if you really view the world as so confining. You might consider reversing the perspective in s2l1 and l2, something like "My world is much larger" "but the fish might see as much". It would reinforce your initial simile. I liked how you ended it "out of touch" it belies the "fishbowl" nature you had espoused. I guess, maybe, beyond the fishbowl, it is more difficult to keep a part. Enjoyed the read!

You "fiddle" well Dellena. Anyone can relate to stylish simplicity in this poem with a much larger message that stands out in two verses. Promise I won't tap on the bowl, or let a cat near it - this is nice, we are all like fish in a sea, your Goldfish is cute! Love I'm most clearly out of touch, as if implying alone, but fine in my world inside of yours. blessings, Deni

Hi Dellena, I like how you compare the Goldfish with yourself. The imagery is strong. I love fish and can easily envision the circling movements of the fish and relate it to your life. Nice concept. Duane.
