fish gotta fly
Created for dVerse Poets Pub FormForAll, where Samuel Peralta's (aka Semaphore1) remarkable prompt On Free Verse, Picasso, and Yachting is all about "collecting tools, and bending the rules." I elected to bend the rules of the Tanka form for my free verse. It is incorporated into a short video that I shot of a piece of neighborhood art....a simple delight found around the corner from our house.

I very much like what you have done here.
I love the reference to the fish "pole dancing"...yes, they are pole dancing. Enjoyed your video and your creativity...thanks.

Lydia, I am not adverse to free verse in diverse situations. Including those
On the road to Mandalay,
Where the flyin'-fishes play,
An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!
(Thus, Rudyard Kipling)
Such a marvellous post to help people start their day! Very good, you!
It is Friday and it is sunny and warm (thus an inherently virtuous day), meaning people can work while they play — by taking their computers out on the front lawn, or something like that.
Blessings and Bear hugs, whilst I go elsewhere to wax lyrical. And be playful (even if I am depressed).
Very nice!
Those are cute fish. My cats would love them, ha!
