Average Poetry by Sidwell - Fish is Love, Fish is Life.



I was of the age of nine.

I loved fish so much, I owned all the rods and the bait.

I prayed to the Gods of Water every night, thanking them for the life I have been given.

"Fish is love", I said. "Fish is life."

My father heard me and called me a queer.

He was jealous of my devotion to fish.

I called him an imbecile.

He slapped me and sent me to the dungeon.

I am crying now, my face hurts.

I sleep on the concrete. It is very cold.

I feel a warmth moving towards me.

I feel something touch me.

It's fish

I am so happy

It whispers into my ear, "This is my lake."

It grabs me with its powerful fins and puts me in a suggestive position.

I wake up.

It was all but a dream.
