SONNET TO A GUPPIE, by DOROTHY DIEMER First Line: Ignore my mocking eyes, young flippant fish Last Line: Is like a crazy guppie in a bowl! Subject(s): Guppies | |||
Ignore my mocking eyes, young flippant fish, Be freezing cold to anyone so snoopy, But really you make quite a pretty dish, And so I write a sonnet to you, guppie. Undaunted fellow, sail undaunted on, As hours go by the silver depths unroll, How many miles canst proudly boast at dawn -- Around a so absurdly little bowl? A lightning grace enchants your sudden darts, A peerless rainbow sheathes your streamlined form, And yet your ego comes not from these arts, But from the non-existent goal you storm. For all my words, I fear my searching soul Is like a crazy guppie in a bowl! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SYNCOPATED CAKEWALK by CLARENCE MAJOR THE BLACK MONKEY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD EARTH IS ENOUGH by EDWIN MARKHAM OCTAVES: 20 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CUPID AND CAMPASPE, FR.
