The Naked Fish



Awareness holds form firm 
If behind confidence stands 
How far will the bird fly 


Vertigo being made obsolete 
Hanged like work shoes 
No longer required for function 


Have you seen a fish 
Shy of water, looking for a towel 
Saying, I look naked, get me a towel 


Putting a foot in rivers and quickly 
Pulling out with phobia over others with fins 
Don't chicken out now, mate 


I just signed you up
And placed a bet 
With my house on it, 5 to 1


You are to swim, my dear friend  
From Dover to Calais  
And for that, to just be a doodle, diddly-doo

  5. "you are to swim..." aren't we all? ;)
    I loved this verse: "Have you seen a fish
    Shy of water, looking for a towel
    Saying, I look naked, get me a towel" - :) true, true.

  6. Whew, a swim from Dover to Calais would definitely wear one out. I would guess your house would not be safe. Smiles. Clever poem as always, Kodjo!

  11. hope this is a flying fish...
    Kodjo I've been reading lots of contemporary published poetry - I sure hope you are submitting your work because you fit right into that impressionistic genre of poetry
    I always love your work - leaves my mind in a fanciful whirl
