Sometimes I think of WOL as an aquarium
With the poets as the fish.
We swim round and round.
Some live at the top of the tank
Skittering about and bumping into each other.
Some have little shoals they swim in for protection.
Some live alone in the dark depths and suddenly splash up to dazzle all the rest.
There are a few snappy piranhas!
Down below, we hear rumours of a giant octopus lying in wait!
I see myself as a little seahorse pottering about -
Hope I won’t be anyone’s dinner!
Very good Ann.
I was just wondering...
Is there a cod?
clever stuff, ann.. i think we all should write a poem with Write Out Loud or W.O.L. in the first line - but i enjoyed this! x
Very clever and witty analogy, Ann. Not sure where my plaice would be but I'd try to fillet well! (groan, sorry about that.)
Mullet is the most popular fish in the Black Sea. So... Welcome here to Odessa!

Hi Ann,
Loved this little ditty!,especially the references to the piranhas and the giant octopus lying in wait!
Fascinating social order in that tank!
I thought you were a mullet Mr B?

can I be a fish-finger?
fish-fingering fings?
LOL I am here in Odessa, in Ukraine now. It's terribly hot, +37. So, I really think how nice it could if I were a fish. But! Can't imagine what kind of fish I could be in your aquarium. And...it could be only in case if I would be taken into the company of poets.lol
Ms Foxglove, you are a hoot! It takes top-class brains to be so funny that it makes your readers shiver.
I love the analogy of the poets as fish... delightful and clever, Ann!
OK Isobel - you and me can be two beautiful Angel Fish swanning around! And who can that little shrimp be over there? ;-) (No Moby Dick jokes please!)
I enjoyed this Ann - it is life like and I can see where I fit in...
I wouldn't see you as a sea horse flitting around though. X
Hehe - love it & nice pic Ann - I'm very fond of marine life. Best wishes, Dave
Charming!
Just put this on to show Banksy I am not all doom and gloom! xx
