Fish Dreams
95 words
The goldfish bowl teetered
right where they were playing
The dog chased the kitten
The table was swaying
A slide to the right
The bowl shifting quickly
Terrified fish face
so panicked and sickly.
Traumatized eyes
are aghast in surprise
Frantic fins flapping
against his demise.
DOWN to the carpet
The cascading flood,
His habitat plunges
below with a thud.
He flops to the left
He flops to the right
He’s gasping for air
but something’s not right
Reality’s fishy
It’s not what it seems
Such are the nightmares
of fish who have dreams.
