Fish Dialogues Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Fish Dialogues

Rating: 5.0


upon southern sea
moon is so bright
stars sparkle fair
foams are calm

fishes weave a long breath
circle and dive so tender
melt themselves into
a solid firmness

why all innocence waters
are gone and vanished?
turned to darkness?
and got pollution?

O men! wash away!
don’t mess up!
set us free!
we free you too

(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Subroto Chatterjee)

Dear Siddiqui, I liked your choice of subjects, It is true no of fishes and other creatures under water are regularly dieing out of pollution created by us, It's a timely call to control pollution to the mankind. But in the third paragraph I feel ' innocence'should be 'innocent ' and 'pollution ' should be 'polluted' This perhaps will give a better end-rhyme as well.This is a mere suggestion from my side, Thanks for asking comments-Rajkumar

Rub a fish... Make a wish. Throw it back in... Almost pulled, inside. Wrist wrestled from the deep. Wish came true, this one I keep. Great poem. What do ya think o' this one? MJG... Of the world, of poetry.
