   1. 💙

2. I was never one to enjoy opening my eyes underwater…

   1. 🤡 Muri 🤡

3. fascinting and fun read about these great fish! 💖

   1. Cindy, I’ve been somewhat fascinated by goldfish for nearly a year now – ever since my daughter brought one home from preschool 😀

      1. oh it’s soooo great it’s lasted!
         we have had many in our day but sadly haven’t lasted.
         💖

4. Great. Hidden in plain sight. 🌹🙏

   1. Exactly 😉

5. Fish have definite personalities. And they do look back. (K)

   1. 😀 Kerfe 😀

6. I have never perceived fish as wise, but your haiku is lovely, David.

   1. maybe this one was born with a mutation!

      1. What was born without a mutation, the fish or the haiku? The haiku seems perfectly well formed and delightful.

         1. I meant the fish – maybe he’s a mutant fish genius 😉

            1. That was a tongue-in-cheek Odessa style question, David. So your other fish in that aquarium are normal dummies?

               1. the other is a tetra fish, and it’s clearly much dumber than the goldfish – it exhibits no curiosity in the world beyond the aquarium whatsoever.

                  1. I trust your opinion, David.

7. 🙂 such a cool post – images sometimes complement micro-poems so well don’t they. Wisdom, or -simplicity indeed – maybe two sides of the same coin hahah

   1. Thanks! I think they definitely are. I do my best to live by the KISS principle.

      ❤

      1. That is such a great principle, David 🙂 I wish i could live by it more wholeheartedly (will keep trying though), but I truly ADMIRE anyone who does/can!! 🙂 Anna

         1. Anna,

            😁 I only said that I do my best!
            I didn’t say that I succeed!

            ❤
            David

            1. 😀 🙂

8. This is somehow wise, adorable (the pic), and sad (because we usually see fish like this through an acquarium wall) all at once. Love. ❤︎

   1. Lia, I wrote an aquarium poem too 😉 it’s the one just before this one.

      ❤
      David

      1. Haha I just read it now! It is really well done David. 🤗

         1. I’ve been fascinated by goldfish ever since my daughter brought one home from preschool last July!

            1. I read a beautiful book with a goldfish in it – a book my husband gave me one xmas – the perfect book for me at that time – it was called “The reader on the 6:27”

               1. 😳 I’ve never heard of it

                  1. Well, I loved it. And I don’t often read fiction… but he loves it (sci-fi mostly)… and that one for me turned out to be one of those that felt so true to life… maybe that’s why I loved it.

                     1. 🤗 thanks for the recommendation

                        1. 👍🤗

9. I would have never imagined a gold fish as being wise but you said it and now I can’t think otherwise while staring at the two big eyes in the picture. 🤩💜

   1. 🤭 Shruba 🤭
