The dVerse challenge today is from Whimseygizmo, a Quadrille to include the word ‘bubble’.
quiet togetherness
golden memories
floating forever
suspended
in rainbow bubble-glow
inspiring
your graceful
one-mindedness
innocent
open-mouthed wonder
viewed from a place
shaded with hues
of mellow
orange/yellow
lighting your face
asking for nothing
but to survive
you simply were
the cutest little
goldfish alive!
Awwwwww. RIP, little gold love.
My son’s first little pet was a beta named Max. That little guy lived MUCH longer than he was supposed to. 😉
I love these lines, especially:
“your graceful
one-mindedness
innocent
open-mouthed wonder”
We can learn so much from animals, really.
Thanks so much for joining our third Q44!

Hi Misky. It was written tongue in cheek. I don’t really get so attached to fish!

That was a surprise ending for me too…but really sweet. Goldfish don’t seem to usually get much respect as far as pets go… 🙂

Your poem is making me think about our Mathew (he was a Beta fish, but we still loved the raging beast). It is incredible, the memories that root from the wee hearts we bring home and add to our families.

“…quite tasty”? Glad to read this was for fun and you didn’t actually make a mini-feast of your golden hero. You kept us all reaching for tissues until the end. Well done.
