  poems for a new tomorrow

if wishes were fishes

 if wishes were fishes...

would you swim away?

or could it be possible that you

just might be here to stay?

for fishes get skiddish

when they’re in a new pond

unsure of the out come

that lays on, beyond

for some fishes get eaten

as others get away

but I’m just here to help you

from having to end up that way

least that’s what I think

as I play the big kingfish right now

only to turn into a minnow

when you raise your brow

so what would you say

if we just swim side by side

as we keep other fishes

from losing their hide

so as we keep on swimming

I would just like to say

how I love the shape of your flippers

and the way that you sway
