Hook Line And Sinker
i'm a fresh fish
appendages barely sprout
scales glossy with perfection
swimming in your pond
of taradiddle
hitch the lure
plunge the line
you know i'll nibble
doltish little fish
fluttering in your net
you fidget with me
squeezing my delicacy
making insolent faces
amused at my imminent end
then a release, to my disbelief
briskly i swim away
chastising myself
for being duped by such a ruse
then i glimpse a tasty treat
teetering in the distance…

An interesting piece. Cute, literally...but metaphorically, maybe a sad picture of my love life, lol.
Thanks for the read/comment.

The string of surreal but resonant thoughts reminds me a little of Sylvia Plath, and you also share her talent for nestling a certain darkness beneath each line...

more than fish:-)i love it dazed,i love it that this gem of a poem of yours can mean so much through its own simplicity.And your title more than says it all!!! Fish dont have to fall hook ,line and sinker! The metaphor is brilliant. Im a fan dazed!:-)
