Fish (poem) by Kate Burnside on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on February 15, 2005

Refraction has driven many to distraction, like our perceptions of many things...Ed noted something very profound, "if only we had the eye capability of animals...". I don't think animals are quite as distracted by the possibilities...

Fish are truly intriguing creatures - and this is a most intriguing poem, Kate. If only we had the eye capability of animals like the bear and the eagle and the osprey, we, too, could scoop them up quite easily.

Your lecturer will give you an A+ here, unless there's something fishy..

Ya know they have neat lures for catching those fish. Though I must admit that in my younger days I tried it the same way. Great pen

Kate,

Slippery mediums, water and light
the fish--so many thousand shimmering pixels-
composes elsewhere a different picture.

Captured superbly and succinctly--SPOT ON!

No wonder I can't catch fish LOL

Excellent write

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
