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
Swim my Brother...swim to success...to achieve your dreams
ReplyDeleteSome wise words beautifully spoken here Kodjo! :-)
ReplyDeletefree spirit and great fun.
ReplyDeletegood job, good job.
Swim little fishy, swim if you can...
ReplyDelete"you are to swim..." aren't we all? ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
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!
ReplyDeleteinteresting...like how you used the fish to make your point to them kodjo...and your belief in them as well...that goes a long way in them eventually swimming...
ReplyDeleteTrue, we should love what we are doing
ReplyDeleteIt made me really want to go out and give a fish a towel. Fine work. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteVery clever. A big swim with a house riding on the outcome. Cool!
ReplyDeleteWow--I loved this---clever write!
ReplyDeletehope this is a flying fish...
ReplyDeleteKodjo 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
