The Fountain Poem by Tom Billsborough

The Fountain

Rating: 5.0


The fountain starts again.
Rippling its refrain
Above improbable shadows,
As goldfish fins flutter
To absorb the air-rich water.
Sharp as the verbs of movement
Is their darting dance.
Below the algae of our surfaces.
And if by chance I flit my grotto
Of inconsequence
Into translucent waters
May I also
Garner in the rich new flow.

Beautiful image of inspiration springing as a fountain and flights of fancy as the flutter of the fins of goldfish in a pool! Lovely write!
