Rainbow and Sunset
Rainbow is desperatly vieing
For Sunset's attention.
The rays of color
Show vivid in his fins
As he starts to dance
Around the ceramic wall
And past the heater.
He coyly brushes up
Against her.
She goes to the top to feed.
He follows.
The two have explored
Every part of the tank together.
Sunset is now staring at me.
She spits out her food in disgust
Of me.
I must look strange to her
Without a companion,
A Rainbow.
I told her that I only have Clouds.
They only promise rain
And thunder.
They haven't tempted the
Sun to come out in me.
Her eyes seem to hold onto
My every word.
After that day,
I vowed to look
For my Rainbow.

| Very sweet. Did you find your rainbow? Your profile certainly sounds as though you did. My grandson has a large yellow fish named, Sunshine. She's a real beauty. She used to be aggressive, but after being forced to live with a large blue lobster, she learned to back-off. Now she lives with those of her kind and is a bit more mellow. Thanks for sharing. Very original idea. I'll have to read it to my grandson next week. He'll love it, too. |

| This is very imaginative and thoughtfully approached. There is a refreshing originality to it. |

"Blue Water Baptism"
"Blue Water Baptism" is my second collection of poems ranging in topic from views on death, God, friendships, and society. These poems were written in the course of ten years and show the "20-something" state of mind that transitions into a "30-something" mentality.
