janke was presented
with a silver gift
by Neptune
now he strolls speechless
on the glistening sanddune
mesmerised by this
shimmering silver fish
lifeless and coy
and free
in his hand
this wonderful unblemished fish
unaware of the ecstacy
of a little boy
and of eternity
and decay
will soon
die again
The notation below the critique box states, "Feel free to compliment the poet"... I do.
