I caught a silver fish


I caught a fish of gold


The first one spoke to me


And so I let it go.


The second told a joke


And I started to laugh


It slipped from my hand


Down into the sea.


Since then I have tried


To learn the language of fish


Of flowers, birds and bears


Sometimes I am they


And they are me


But now we never speak.

This is an interesting poem, Barbara. I used to fish, quite a bit, and I am guilty of talking to the fish. (I've seen the experts on the fishing shows do it too, so I know I'm not alone in the insanity of the moment)

I've always wondered what was going through the fish's mind, whether it feels dumb for taking "doctored" food. Maybe I simply have too much time.

Thanks for this cute poem.

Jill
