Shadow,

This is a really well rhymed and fluent little piece of poetry, which is lovely to read as there simply isn't enough of it on this site - in my humble opinion!
I suppose that old saying 'there's plenty more fish in the ocean' could actually be applied here, although I have to admit to feeling some sympathy for this seemingly expendable little fish!

Take care and all the best,

Ben

This is very heart-breaking...what a fate! And I love that this is a 'little' fish, to me it means innocence. This is life's journey...creatively captured by a journey of a little fish. Great job!
