there were words
but
i couldn’t
put them together
the right way
they floundered
like silver-scaled fish
dumped from a bucket
thrashing on a dock
they had to be
pushed back into
the ocean
floating and leaving no trace

Very good, I’ve been struggling with a ‘silver fish’ thoughts’ idea, you’ve said it perfectly.
Thank you. We all have them.
Like it. It has fish and the ocean. Good images.
Thank you, Jane. π

This is beautiful Crow
Thank you! π
my pleasure.
well done in stringing together the words… the ending is a splendid image, a fine texture of emotions in narrator’s voice,
Thanks. Sometimes the fish cooperate.
Nice!
Thank you!
Fantastic! Next time, just club the fish. Words will come then; I promise. π
Words like, βWait! Iβm a magic fish!β
That would be tragic! π
Three wishes! What would you wish for?
That’s a difficult question to answer. When I’m reading your superb work, I can’t think of anything I need more at the moment than delighting in your words. π
Iβm blushing π!
That image really works well (not a silver fish poem π
Thanks!
