    Poem Commentary

    Something to think about. Children and parents should love this.

    Fish in a bowl

     I am your fish in a bowl far from sea
    Remember me feed me
    Give me some attention
    My bowl is much smaller then it used to be

    Now in my bowl two eyes watch me
    I think about how it used to be
    Wondering where my home could be

    Clean water food lots of friends
    See me through the day
    I am your fish in the bowl

    My friends had beautiful colors
    With angel wings others have big eyes

    How big you look to me
    Please don't tap on my bowl
    It hurts me so

    I am a friendly fish
    That lives in your bowl
    Please take care of me

    I may never go back out to sea
    Be my friend I'll be yours
    We will get along together
    If you take care of me
    I'm your fish in the bowl

    I see you are seeking for something to write. Look within. My oldest filled my fish tank with a box of crumbled crackers. The couldn't move.'-)

    Oh no I had one of my sons hit the tank with a spoon. Fish and water everywhere! It was a mess. I played catch the fish, bucket the water. His little eyes looked at me as if to say what did I do??
